A runner leans inward while running a sharp curve to prevent centrifugal force from pushing them outward. Leaning helps the runner maintain balance and stability while navigating the turn at a higher speed. By leaning in, the runner can stay closer to the center of the curve and maintain their momentum through the turn.

When focusing on a distant object is the lens more concave?

When focusing on a distant object, the lens is more convex. The convex lens bends light inward and converges it at a focal point to form a sharp image of a distant object.


What type of motion occurs as a motorcycle takes a sharp turn?

As a motorcycle takes a sharp turn, it undergoes both rotational motion due to leaning into the turn and translational motion as it moves along its curved path. The rider uses a combination of leaning and steering to maintain balance while navigating the turn.


In order to make a reflection the surface of an object must be?

Smooth and flat to produce a clear and sharp image. Irregular or rough surfaces will scatter light in many directions, resulting in a distorted or blurred reflection.


Centripetal force can cause a driver to lose control of a vehicle when entering a sharp curve?

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a curved path. When a driver enters a sharp curve, the centripetal force required to keep the vehicle turning may exceed the frictional force between the tires and the road, causing the vehicle to skid or lose traction, leading to loss of control. This is why drivers should slow down before entering sharp curves to avoid this situation.


When viewing an object close to you your lens should be more what?

When viewing an object close to you, your lens should be more curved in order to focus the light rays properly onto your retina. This curvature allows the lens to refract light more effectively and bring nearby objects into sharp focus.
