Why is the ice compartment placed at the upper portion of a refrigerator and not at the lowe portion?

Cold air sinks, so it would make more sense to place the ice compartment at the top of the fridge so the rest of it stays colder.

Why is a freezer compartment at the top of a refrigerator?
The cooling element in freezers is at the top in order to keep it its coolest. This is because in a freezer or fridge the heat travels using thermal convection. In your kettle you have a the heating element at the bottom so the water particles are less dense and rise upwards beofore cooling at the top and becoming colder denser particles that then replace thehot particles at the bottom. This cycle carries on....however in a fridge or freezer you want the particles to be colder and denser so the cooling element is at the top so it allows the particles rise then to cool faster at the top. Its basically the reverse of what you have in your kettle, that allows you to boil your water!
Describe how the temperature of different flames could be investigated using wires?
If we held a wire a on upper portion so it is not very hot and middle portion is too hot ,inner is cold
How would you show that water is not a good conductor of heat?
A test tube is filled with tap water (about 25oC). An ice block is placed in the test tube and is kept at the bottom of the test tube by means of a wire gauze. Next (without delaying too much since the ice block would melt completely!), the test tube is bent and the upper end of the test tube placed in a Bunsen flame. It is found that the water at the upper end boils before the ice block melts. This shows that water is a poor conductor of heat.
What is the force felt when an object is placed in water?
When an object is placed in water it experiences Buoyancy force. The magnitude of force is equal to the weight of water displaced and direction is perpendicular to free surface. Buoyancy is felt due to unequal amount of forces on upper and lower surface of object. Buoyancy force will not be felt in space.. This is not true, it can be felt if the water container is accelerating.

Why is the fridge freezing food at the bottom?
The refrigerator temperature control(s) is set to high. The refrigerator may have one or two controls.If it has only one control, it is used for the freezing(freezer) compartment andthe refrigerated(non-freezing) compartment as well. Simply lower the dial until the lower refrigerator stops freezing food but not so low that the freezer(upper) compartment stops freezing.If it has two controls, they should be labeled. One is for the upper(freezer)compartment and the other is for the lower(Non freezing/refrigerator) compartment. Turn down only the control for the lower(refrigerator)compartment until the food stops freezing.

Why is upper third part heat coagulation test?
Upper portion is heated as it acts as a control for comparing with lower portion of the test tube.Turbidity occurs in the upper portion of urine,while lower portion remains clear.Turbidity may appear due to phosphates,carbonates which on addition of acetic acid if persists denotes presence of proteins in the urine.
