The Similarities And Differences Between The Wedge And Inclined Plane

The Wedge
A wedge has two inclined plains which are the thick and thin ends. It is used to cut objects apart. The force applied to the thick end forces the thin end into the object splitting it apart.

The Similarities and Differences Between The Wedge and Inclined Plain
- The wedge is used to split an object.
- The inclined plain is used to push things up or down.
- Inclined planes are made to be motionless.
- Wedges are made to move.
This simple machine consists of a sloping side and conects a lower space to a higher space. Also, It takes less force to move a heavy object uphill using an inclined plain.

Similarities Between The Inclined Plane And Wedge
Both the wedge and inclined plane:
- include an inclined plain.
- make work easier by requring less force.
- use a force on one place to make a bigger force some where else.
- split something. The wedge splits an object and the plane splits the force of gravity.
