The spot light Effect
The turning tendency of a force is related to the distance from the point of rotation (torque). The longer the distance from the point of rotation, the greater the turning tendency. Additionally, the magnitude of the force and the angle at which it is applied also affect the turning tendency.
The tendency for objects to change is known as entropy, a measure of disorder within a system. Over time, this tendency leads to the spontaneous increase of randomness and disorganization in a system.
The tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest is called inertia.
The tendency for an object to resist changes in motion is called inertia.

A dowager is a woman of advanced age and may have a tendency to hunch her shoulders thus giving her an appearance she has a bit of a hump.
Hygroscopic materials have a tendency to absorb moisture from the air, leading to changes in their physical or chemical properties. This can affect the material's performance and durability, making proper storage and handling important to maintain its quality and effectiveness.
The tendency to report falsely after the fact that you accurately predicted an outcome is known as "hindsight bias." This cognitive bias leads individuals to believe that they knew the outcome all along, causing them to overestimate their ability to predict events. It can distort memory and perception, making past predictions seem more accurate than they actually were. This phenomenon often affects decision-making and self-assessment in various contexts, including personal and professional situations.
The moon does not have a face. The appearance of a face on the moon is a result of pareidolia, which is the tendency for humans to perceive familiar patterns, such as faces, in random stimuli.
The illusion of transparency refers to the tendency for individuals to overestimate how well others can interpret their thoughts and emotions. People often mistakenly believe that their internal states are more apparent to others than they actually are, leading to miscommunication and misunderstandings. This illusion can impact social interactions and decision-making processes.
