A wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

<h3 /><h3>The Wedge as a Machine</h3>

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. When the wedge is driven into a body by an effort force, a much larger force will be exerted to each side by the wedge surfaces.

What are the importance of wedge?

A wedge is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces example of this scenario is splitting of timber. A wedge is a machine and the example of wedge - type of machine are;

  • Axes
  • Chisel
  • Knives
  • Cutting tools

Note that a thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one.

Therefore, a wedge is a machine and it is used for separating bodies.

The figure shows three displacement vectors, which are
aleksley [76]

Answer:

the correct answer is D

Explanation:

In this exercise, the vectors are in the same west-east direction, so we can assume that the positive direction is east and perform the algebraic sum.

       R = δ + ε

where

       δ = 2.0 m

       ε = 7.0 m

the positive sign indicates that it is heading east

        R = 2.0 + 7.0

        R = 9.0 m

the direction is east

the correct answer is D
