A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, a compound and portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines.
It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces.
The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width. Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

Non examples of a wedge?
Anything that isn't a wedge, really. An example of a wedge is an axe. A thing with that shape is a wedge. Non examples could be other simple machines: screws, levers, pulleys, really anything that, if you look in an encyclopedia, isn't classified as a wedge. :) .

Is a skateboard a wedge?
No, a skateboard is not classified as a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes and is used to separate objects or hold them together. Skateboards, on the other hand, are designed for riding and performing tricks, consisting of a deck, trucks, and wheels rather than serving the mechanical function of a wedge.

What type of simple machine is a grass shears?
A grass shear is a compound machine comprising a lever and a wedge. The handle acts as a lever to provide mechanical advantage for cutting grass, while the blades function as a wedge to effectively sever the grass blades.
