As you spin an object around what is the force acting out?
There is no force directed away from the center.If there were no force at all on the object, it would continue to travel in a straight line.The force directed inward, toward the center, is what bends its path around the center.
What is a mirror that curves outward?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
What is a lens that bends light inward?
An inward curve is called concave, while an outward curve is called convex
What is the direction in which centripetal force acts?
Is the direction of centripetal force of an object moving in a circle pointing to the center of the circular path? kk
Why does your reflection upside down in a spoon?
Because the spoon is curved inward so your reflection appears to be upside down.+++For an explanation look up the principles of concave mirrors.
Where the acceleration of a satellite directed?
The acceleration of a satellite is directed inward, towards the center of the orbit.
What does the word inbound mean?
directed or moving inward or toward a center; "the inbound train"; "inward flood of capital" inward bound: inbound ships Bound inward; incoming: inbound commuter traffic.
What is a mirror that is curved?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
What causes these gravitational centers to form in these huge clouds?
Because the rotation of the nebula creates an inward force to the center of the cloud.
What is a mirror or lens that is curved inward is?
concave

What is another word for curved inward?
Conclave or concave?
Centripetal forces cause object to move in what kind of path?
Centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: it is always directed orthogonal to the velocity of the body, toward the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. The term centripetal force comes from the Latin words centrum ("center") and petere ("tend towards", "aim at"), signifying that the force is directed inward toward the center of curvature of the path. Isaac Newton's description was: "A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or in any way tend, towards a point as to a center."
What is a mirror that curves outward?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
A mirror that is curved inward like the inside of a spoon?
Con-caved mirror
Types of lenses?
Convex lenses are curved inward. Concave lenses curve outward.
What is a synchronous rotation?
Synchronous rotation is when the time of rotation equals the time of the orbit, resulting in a situation where the same side of a body is pointing inward like in the moon.
