A wedge is a type of inclined plane that has a sharp edge to separate or hold objects. It works by converting a force applied on the flat side into a larger force perpendicular to the sloped sides.
An inclined plane with one or two sloping sides in called aWEDGE.An example of a wedge would be an axe that you use to chop down a tree.
There are one syllable in the word "wedge."
Axes, forks, nails, your teeth, knives and many more.
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.
A chisel is a type of machine called a wedge. A wedge is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and a thick end. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the sloping sides of the wedge apply force to the object, cutting/splitting it apart. A wedge makes work easier by increasing the force applied to the object, although it applies the force over a shorter distance. Another example of a wedge is a hammer.
