Why does an object move faster on a straight path than a curved path?
With a curved path you have to slow down to curve as with a straight path you dont have to slow down you can do as fast as you need to go to get threw it.

What is a curved surface and a curved edge in geometry 5th grade level?
A curved surface is like imagining a sheet of paper that is bent or a flag waving in the wind. A curved edge is like an elastic stick bent in one(C curve) or more points(S curve). The curved surface beeing 3 dimensional(3D) and the curved edge 2 dimensional(2D) unlike the simple surface and edge which are 2D respectively 1D.

The meniscus - the upward curve of a liquid in a narrow vessel.
