A U is like a parabola. There are two variables involved, for example
time and temperature, or time and speed.

 An over-simple example. If for example, the outside temperature is 60
degrees at 8:00 AM
 and declines a degree an hour for the next 12 hours -  then increases a degree
an hour for 12 hours after that, you can say its  "U" shaped ( a "V"
in this over-simple example).  Though that's the gist of U shaped.
