Wedge Simple Machines

Wedges are used to split or separate objects

What is a wedge?

 Wedge: a simple machine that is used to reduce the amount of force needed to split objects  By forcing an edge in between two things, it becomes easier to get them apart

split edge  They work by using the edge where two inclined planes meet to get into an object  This splits the object into two parts

 The wedge is placed in between objects that are to be separated  The force behind the wedge pushes the objects apart force load

What are some examples of wedges you might see in your daily lives?

 Wedges are used when something needs to be separated  Applying effort on a wedge allows you to create force outwards to the sides

 Instead of trying to pull an object apart from the sides, a wedge will allow you to split it from the middle  This makes it much easier to get two things apart!

Types of Wedges  Thin wedges are used to split objects that are very tightly held together  Wide wedges are useful to hold things that are already separated apart

Types of Wedges thinwide

Let’s try it!  Use different types of wedges to separate different objects!  Write down your observations
