Science. Inclined Planes and Wedges

Is an inclined plane the same as other simple machines? An inclined plane is sort-of like a wedge.
How does an inclined plane make work easier? What are the disadvantages? Its easier to carry things up a slope than up stairs cause you can use wheels to get the things up, But if you drop a round ball it will roll down the slope.
Think of a kind of wedge. How does it make work easier? A doorstop could keep a door from swinging closed when your hands are full.
Make a picture on how to improve this wedge.

A rough bottom could improve the grip on the doorstop to the floor so it doesn’t slip closed.      

What is an inclined plane? A sloped surface.
