  • It's AumSum Time.

  • Can you guess the title of my next video?

  • Hurry up.

  • Write your guess in the comments section below.

  • What is a hangover?

  • Usually, when we drink too much alcohol.

  • We experience an extreme headache, nausea, vomiting, etc. the next morning.

  • This condition is called a hangover.

  • Now, we get a hangover because alcohol is a diuretic.

  • This means it makes you urinate a lot, making us lose more water and thus, causing our body to get dehydrated.

  • When our body gets dehydrated, it begins to steal water from the brain.

  • Causing it to shrink and thus, giving us a hangover headache.

  • In addition to this, when we drink alcohol, our liver breaks down the alcohol into toxic acetaldehyde.

  • Then, into harmless acetate.

  • However, when we drink too much, we cannot convert toxic acetaldehyde as quickly as usual.

  • Hence, it begins to build up in our body and thus, causing hangover nausea and vomiting.

  • Moreover, different types of alcohol have different amounts of congeners, which are basically impurities.

  • If we drink the alcohol which has more congeners, then it can increase the severity of a hangover.

  • Why do mosquitoes bite only some people?

  • Because they are lazy.

  • No.

  • There are a number of reasons why some people are more prone to mosquito bites.

  • One of them is body odor.

  • Millions of bacteria which live on our skin produce various gases.

  • These gases form our body odor.

  • Some of these body odors attract the mosquitoes.

  • So, this is the reason why mosquitoes prefer me.

  • Besides this.

  • A popular research found that mosquitoes tend to bite people with Type O blood nearly twice as often as those with Type A.

  • Exercising can also entice mosquitoes.

  • This is because when we exercise, we release more carbon dioxide, heat, and sweat.

  • Mosquitoes can detect this carbon dioxide and heat.

  • They can also sense various substances in our sweat such as lactic acid, thus making us more likely to get bitten.

  • Topic: Newton's Third Law of Motion.

  • Why does a swimmer push the water backward?

  • Oh no.

  • There is a hole in the boat.

  • Now, how will you reach the shore?

  • Don't worry.

  • Do as I say.

  • Jump in the water and push the water backward with your hands.

  • This will help you to move forward towards the shore.

  • No.

  • You are not pushing the water backward.

  • See.

  • You are moving forward towards the shore.

  • Do you know why you were able to move forward by pushing the water backward?

  • To understand this, you need to learn about Newton's third law of motion.

  • Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

  • No.

  • Not that action.

  • Wait, let me explain.

  • When we swim, we apply force and push the water backward with the help of our hands.

  • This is action.

  • In response to this action, the water pushes us forward with an equal force.

  • This is reaction.

  • Thus, in order to move forward and swim, the swimmer pushes the water backward.

  • How are pearls formed?

  • It's a top secret.

  • I can't reveal it.

  • Alright.

  • I'll tell you.

  • Pearls are the result of a biological process within living sea creatures.

  • Like an oyster as it protects itself from foreign substances.

  • The oyster looks beautiful.

  • Indeed.

  • An oyster has two shells.

  • Inside the shells, there is an organ called mantle.

  • Mantle covers and protects all the internal organs of the oyster.

  • Whenever any foreign substance like a grain of sand or a parasite makes its way into the oyster.

  • Gets stuck in between the shell and mantle.

  • The mantle's natural reaction is to cover that foreign substance to protect the oyster's internal organs.

  • For this, the mantle secretes a mineral called nacre around the foreign substance in layers.

  • Over time, layer upon layer of nacre leads to the formation of a pearl.

  • Why do we see only one side of the moon?

  • Because the other side is shy.

  • No.

  • Our moon takes about 27 days to rotate around its own axis and 27.3 days to revolve around the earth.

  • This means the moon rotates around its axis at almost the same rate or speed as it revolves around the earth.

  • Hence, the same side of the moon is constantly facing the earth, making us see only one or same side of the moon.

  • However, if the moon did not rotate on its axis, then we could see the other side of the moon.

  • We would also see the other side, if the moon rotated in 13.5 days, i.e., it made two rotations in one revolution.

  • But this is not the case.

  • However, an interesting fact is that due to the elliptical orbit of the moon.

  • We can see almost 59% of the moon's surface.

It's AumSum Time.
