The Apex Defintion

The Apex can be defined in many different ways. Everything or every object can reach its apex, weather it is visually, geometrically or within the sense of force. The Apex can be a summit, peak, climax and so on. The highest point or the vertex of a hill triangle etc. Even the tip of a leaf can be described as an Apex. The word Apex as a noun actually means the highest point. Also what I found out and realised a few days ago is that a racing car going into the corner can also reach its apex. This is due to the force that acts upon the vehicle when entering the corner and the rise of the intensity of the force on the car throughout the progression of the corner. you can call it an apex when the maximum amount of force acts upon the car. If the car is too fast it can't handle the force and gets thrown out of the pursued way of travel. You would call this a car accident. If the car on the other hand has the right speed and position, it will progress in the most efficient way possible.
