A kickstand is not considered a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine with a sloping surface used to lift or split objects, while a kickstand is a support device used to keep a bicycle or motorcycle upright when not in use.
A thick wedge has a greater mechanical advantage than a thin wedge. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is calculated by dividing the length of the slope by the thickness of the wedge. Therefore, a thicker wedge will have a larger mechanical advantage since it has a longer slope relative to its thickness.
The dingbat answer for "wedge" is "cut a slice."
The efficiency of a wedge is determined by the ratio of output force to input force. It is calculated as the length of the slope divided by the thickness of the wedge. The ideal mechanical efficiency of a wedge is 50%, assuming there are no energy losses.
A compound machine consisting of a lever and wedge would typically involve using the lever to apply force on the wedge. For example, using a lever to push down on a wedge to split wood. The lever amplifies the force applied to the wedge, making it easier to perform tasks that would be difficult with just the wedge alone.
To calculate wedge force, you can use the formula: F = T * tan(α), where F is the force applied to the wedge, T is the force perpendicular to the wedge (normal force), and α is the angle of the wedge. This formula assumes the wedge is ideal and there is no friction. Adjustments may need to be made for real-world applications where friction plays a role.
No it is a frog kick
yes Dr. Jinx
Approach Wedge. Its between a pitching wedge and sand wedge.
It stands for "Approach Wedge" which is the same as a gap wedge and its loft is generally about 50 degrees.
approach
The "D" is for Dual. It's a dual wedge w/ a 50 degree between pitching wedge and sand wedge.
Starting in 2010, the wedge on a kick return is illegal. An illegal wedge is 3 or more players who intentionally line up within 2 yards of each other on the return of a free kick. A block does not have to occur for it to be a foul and the penalty is 15 yards.
Utility wedge, it is like a gap wedge 50 degrees or so.
Kick stand?
KR = Kick Returner
They can. They just require a kick stand.
i would imagine it stands for high lob wedge since the degree is > 60 degrees.
