Here are a few science questions i have found over the internet can you come up with a good answer?

1. When Electric Eels charge voltage around their body how come they don't get shocked?
2. Why Do bee's buzz?
3. Is hair different from fur?
4. How Do chameloens regain parts of their body back?
5. What instrument do they use to measure the weight of planets?
6. Why are Planets round?
7. How Do we get "Ice Cream" Headache? (AKA Brain Freeze?)

Happy Playing,
Tom 🙂

for #2, i believe we are hearing their wings moving at the speed of sound, only instead of a snap, it's a hum.

and for #7, you are eating flavored ice, it's cold, you body reacts, trying to get you to do something to warm up, by giving you a headache.

i guessed both of those.

1. They are used to it.
2. High on nectar.
3. One to keep cool, the other to keep warm?
4. They sing: Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameeeleon.. You come and go… you come and go…
5. Calculus.
6. Simi-solidified from hot gases/lava-like stuff.. spinning at God knows how fast around the sun and themselves.. centrifugal something or other..
7. When the cone is shoved up the nostrils.

1. the cells of the skin are only electric on one side, the side being away from the body...thus the electric shock moves outward not inward

2.the vibration or buzzing causes the flower to release its pollen

3. yes...

4. ?

5. ?

6. gravity is the center of the planets...pulls equally from all directions


7. it is the dilation of blood vessels in the head caused by a nerve center thats above the roof of your mouth

1.Because the eel isnt making a complete circuit.It isn't grounded.
2.The buzz is the sound of its wings beating( not at the speed of sound lol)
3.Fur referrs to the collective hairs covering an animal.
4.They can regenerate a tail if they need to escape a preditor that has them by the tail.The new tail seldom looks the same as the old tail.It is a defence mechanism.
5.They estimate the volume and the density and estimate the planets weight.
6.Planets are round because their gravitational field acts as though it originates from the center of the body and pulls everything toward it.
In an enviroment where there is no gravity,a liquid like water would form into spheres.
7.The headache is caused from the cooling of your mouth and palette.
To stop the headache drink a warm drink or put your tongue on the roof of your mouth to warm it up.

my physics teacher would have a field day telling you about how there is no such thing as centrifugal force. that is a common misconception. it is actually centripetal force.

What? Are you suggesting planets have no gravity?

#1: They actually do feel the charge but its not as noticable for them due to the short time its 'on'. The field does go out not inward so close-by fish feel the full effect. There is an article about this in the latest Scientific American.
#2: Bee's buzz because thats the frequency they make when the wings flap, its like a little loudspeaker.
#5: The instrument used to 'weigh' planets is called the telescope.
It takes images day after day till the complete orbit is known. Then, if the mass of the star has been figured, the orbit data can be used to calculate the masses of both the star and the planet.
#4: They can regenerate cells, the instructions are coded in the DNA to do that.
#6: Planets are round because of gravity and the fact that rock, no matter how hard, is still malleable. Rock is no match for gravity and will flow like taffy when stuff accretes from say, collisions of minor planets, small stuff, maybe only 30-40 miles across can still look like peanuts and some actually do because the total mass is not enough to generate enough gravity to overcome the natural elasticity of rocks.
You crash enough of those planetoids together and they will form into a more or less spherical shape. If there is much spin it still won't be a pure sphere, but will bulge around the equator so it takes longer to go east and west at the equator than going north or south around the earth. The Sun has a really distinct bulge, as does Jupiter.
#7 'Ice Cream Headaches' are the result of cooling off the sinuses in between the eyes and in the nose which happens when you drink liquid nitrogen, for instance. Just kidding about that one, don't EVEN try that at home folks.

No I was making a comparison to a planet and a globe of water floating in space,Come on SM give me a little credit.
