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.

A cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

          x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

          x = 2²/(2 0.8)

         x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B
