How is a wedge similar to an incline plane?
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.
