What is a real world example of a wedge?

A wooden doorstop.


How do you find the MA of a wedge?

To find the mechanical advantage (MA) of a wedge, you can use the formula: MA = length of the wedge / height of the wedge. The length refers to the distance from the tip to the base of the wedge, while the height is the vertical distance from the base to the top. This ratio indicates how much force is amplified when using the wedge to split or lift materials.


Is a wedge like an inclined plane?

Yes a wedge is an incline plane.


Which has a greater mechanical advantage a wedge that is 6cm long and 3cm wide or a wedge that is 12cm long and 4cm wide explain your answer?

To determine mechanical advantage (MA) of a wedge, we use the formula MA = length of the wedge / width of the wedge. For the first wedge, MA = 6 cm / 3 cm = 2. For the second wedge, MA = 12 cm / 4 cm = 3. Therefore, the second wedge (12 cm long and 4 cm wide) has a greater mechanical advantage of 3 compared to the first wedge's MA of 2.


Which has the greater mechanical advantage a wedge that is 6cm long and 3cm wide or a wedge that is 12cm long and 4cm wide explain?

To determine the mechanical advantage of a wedge, you can use the formula: Mechanical Advantage (MA) = Length of the wedge / Width of the wedge. For the first wedge (6cm long, 3cm wide), MA = 6/3 = 2. For the second wedge (12cm long, 4cm wide), MA = 12/4 = 3. Therefore, the second wedge has a greater mechanical advantage of 3 compared to the first wedge's mechanical advantage of 2.
