From one viewpoint just a matter of frame of reference... "Inclined plane" usually depicts is the ability of object to move up the slope on the inclined object easier than lifting (you only have to exert a fraction [the sine of the angle of the incline] of the force to move it along the incline compared to lifting straght up)
A "wedge" is an inclined plane being forced between two objects to move them apart.
Inclined plane
Inclined planes and wedges are both forms of inclined planes.
Scissors are composed from wedge and lever.

While a wedge and an inclined plane are not the same things, a wedge is a type of inclined plane. However, not all inclined planes are considered to be wedges.
Both an inclined plane and a wedge are simple machines that reduce the amount of force needed to move an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. The main difference is that an inclined plane is usually a flat surface that is angled, while a wedge is two inclined planes placed back to back.
A wedge and a lever.
Lay the wedge down and look at it. Sure enuff it is an inclined plane!
Yes a wedge is an incline plane.
A knife could be a lever or wedge depending on what kind and how you use it. If it's just between lever and inclined plane its lever, NOT inclined plane
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
They both have a sloping side. A wedge has 2 sloping sides, but an inclined plane has only1.
A wedge is used to 'push' something apart such as wood. An inclined plane is basically a ramp.
