Why are roads bent inward on curves?
Roads, particularly those that are designed for high-speed travel, tend to be inclined with the bottom at the inside of the curve and the top of the incline at the outside of the curve. This is to help the driver counteract the momentum of the car, which will tend to push the car towards the outside of the curve.
Momentum is the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion on a straight line course unless acted upon by an outside force. Because the car is turning away from the straight line to follow the road, a force has to be applied to move the car from the straight line to the curve. Inclining the road helps provide this force - it helps turn the car by allowing gravity to pull the car down the incline and towards the center of the curve and counters the pull of the car towards the outside of the curve via momentum.
This is why, when driving at higher speeds, you have to be careful about how quickly you try to turn your car. If you try to turn faster than you can overcome the momentum of the car, you will flip the car sideways and start rolling it.
What is the work triangle in the kitchen?
The kitchen work triangle is made up of the three main work sites or work areas in the kitchen, and these are the refrigerator, the sink, and the stove or cooktop. Each of these three items makes up a point of the work triangle. The key is to locate these three items a strategic distance from each other - too far apart and you're wasting a lot of time when preparing a meal but too close and you'll feel far too cramped up.

Why do you need a keyway in the construction of a wall?
typically, a keyway is found in a wall made of concrete where there is two separate pours which abut themselves, otherwise referred to as a cold joint. it makes sense to insert a concave keyway continously along the length and in the center of a section of the first wall section poured to receive an abutting concrete pour at a later date. this inserted keyway creates an interlocking style effect between the two abutting pours which creates a higher quality connection than simply butting the two pours with nothing to interconnect them.
