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.

Which causes some genetic disorders and genetic diseases?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

A genetic disorder is a disease caused in whole or in part by a change in the DNA sequence away from the normal sequence. Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene (monogenic disorder), by mutations in multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance disorder), by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors, or by damage to chromosomes (changes in the number or structure of entire chromosomes, the structures that carry genes).

a player passes a 0.600kg basketball down court for a fast break.the ball leaves the player hands with a speed of 8.30m/s and sl
Setler79 [48]

At the release point, the ball has kinetic energy,

\dfrac12m{v_0}^2

and at its maximum height it has potential and kinetic energy,

-mgy+\dfrac12mv^2

where y is the maximum height attained above the release point.

The LoCoE tells us that we should have

\dfrac12m{v_0}^2=-mgy+\dfrac12 mv^2

\implies v^2-{v_0}^2=-2gy

\implies\left(7.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(8.30\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)y

\implies y=0.870\,\mathrm m
