A wedge can be made out of various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or rubber, depending on its intended use.
Many different things can be used as a wedge. A nail or pushpin is a wedge, and so is a rubber doorstop. Wedges can be made of metal or of wood or plastics, and a wedge is a simple machine in this context.
46 degrees. Also the A wedge is 51 and the sand wedge is 55.

You should wedge clay before you work with it, to redistribte the minerals it is made of and remove air bubbles.

no.
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.
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.
The wedge is one of the six simple machines and may have been the first or second developed (along with the Lever. When early humans made scrapers, axes and knives from stone, they were making a wedge.
I can give a better answer than the one Joseph gave. A traditional wedge salad is made up of iceberg lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, green onion, and blue cheese dressing. A quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce sliced so it includes the core is a "wedge." and is always the base of a wedge salad. The lettuce wedge and a creamy dressing are the foundation of a wedge salad.
