Why are Liquids heated from below?

A liquid in a vessel is heated due to the process of convection. In convection heat is transferred by the actual movement of heated particles in upward direction. As the liquid is heated from below its density decreases and hence it rises up and cold liquid settles down and heated. This process continues till whole liquid is heated.

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

In uniform circular motion,  1. Speed is constant. 2. Velocity is variable and acts along tangential direction  at a point. 3. Centripetal Force and acceleration act along the radius towards the centre if the circular path.  4. Centrifugal force appears to  act radially outwards. It is a virtual  ,fictitious force, not a real force.

ECHO IN LIVING ROOM

Why is echo not heard in our living rooms? To hear echo, the minimum distance between the source and the reflector must be 17m. When this distance is more than 17m, the reflected sound can be distinguished from the original. As the length of our rooms is less than 17m, we don't hear echo.
