Depends on your point of view.
Concave bends in and can hold water, convex arches out and is like a dome.

Concave, in geometric terms-
If a line is drawn from any point to any non adjacent point on a figure and one does NOT stay within the figure, it is concave.
So yeah, like the letter U I suppose you could say. It's whenever something has points that are higher than its sides.

Sort of. Actually, it would be concave seen from the top, but convex seen from the bottom. The inside of a cup is concave, but if you turn it upside-down, its bottom is convex.
Concave means something's curved or sunken inward (think: "cave"), like a hole, whereas convex means it's curved, rounded. or swollen outward, like a bump.

Concave bows in. Convex bows out.

no, concave would be a lowercase N, or an A

Yes, it would probably look more like a V...as opposed to an A.
