Anamolous expansion of water

It's a general property of any substance that it expands on heating and contract on cooling but certain substances behave just different way at certain range of temperature. Water  is an example.
Water expands on cooling from 4°C to 0°C or you can say water contracts on heating from 0°C to 4°C.
This unusual behaviour of water is called Anomalous expansion  of water

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.

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.
