Which statement best describes how a wedge is similar to and different from an inclined plane?

Which of the following best describes the main difference between a wedge and an inclined plane?

In the context of constructing an inclined plane, what is the name of the joint formed when two pieces of metal overlap one another?

When walking up an inclined plane at constant speed, what is the magnitude of the resistive force (such as friction or applied force) that must be overcome to move upward, assuming the plane makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal and the mass of the object is $m$?

A block of mass $m$ slides down a frictionless inclined plane that makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. What is the acceleration of the block down the incline?

What was the greatest discovery by Galileo during his inclined-plane experiments?

If an object of weight $w$ rests on a frictionless inclined plane, how will $w$ change if the angle of the ramp to the horizontal is increased?

While driving up a steep incline, what action should you take to maintain a constant $v$?

A $3500$ kg truck is parked on a $7.0°$ slope. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the truck? (Assume the truck is at rest and neglect air resistance. Use $g=9.8$ m/s$2^{\mathrm{}}$.)

A $4000\mathrm{kg}$ truck is parked on a $7.0°$ incline. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the truck?

If the coefficient of static friction between a car's tires and the road is $\mu s_{}$, what is the maximum angle $\theta$ of an inclined plane (hill) on which you can park the car without it sliding down?

A car is skidding to a stop while moving down a hill inclined at $20°$. Which of the following best describes the direction of the friction force acting on the car during the skid?
