yes it is
Is a knife a lever or 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
How does the angle of an incline plane affect the force needed to move and object?
The steeper the incline plane, the greater the force required to move an object up the incline. This is because the component of the force needed to overcome gravity acting against the object's weight on the incline becomes larger as the angle increases. A shallower incline requires less force to move the object up it.
What happens to force when the height of the incline plane is reduced?
As the height of the incline plane is reduced, the gravitational force acting on the object decreases. This, in turn, reduces the component of the force acting parallel to the incline, resulting in a lower force required to move the object up the incline.
Why is the wedge in the inclined family?
A wedge (EX:a ramp) has an inclined plane as one of its faces.
Is a wedge like an inclined plane?
Yes a wedge is an incline plane.
Why is a chisel an incline plane?
An incline plane is a wedge or ramp. When you look at a chisel you'll notice it is wedge shaped at the tip so it can cut. A knife is also an incline plane.
Is a wedge a third class lever?
A wedge is not a lever but an incline plane.
Why a wedge is in the incline plane family?
A wedge (EX:a ramp) has an inclined plane as one of its faces.
Is the handle of a knife a lever wedge or incline plane?
yes
Can binder be used as a wedge?

What other kind of simple machine do you need to make a wedge?
an incline plane
Simple machines represent variations of a lever?
pulley, incline plane, wedge
Incline plane that moves through material cutting it up or opening it up?
Wedge
What is the difference between an inclined plane and a wedge?
There is a difference between both of them. The inclined plane can help move an object up or down. A wedge can help to cut or split things apart. They look very similar but are used for different things.
Simple machine that starts with I?
Inclined plane. One of the six; screw, wedge, incline plane, pulley, wheel and axle, and lever.
