Answer to Question 1

Sound is carried by compressions and rarefactions of the air; it does not rely on individual molecules to carry it. Individual molecules of the compounds that make up coffee carry the aroma of coffee. Thus we are comparing the time that it takes sound to propagate a certain distance against the time that it takes some of the molecules of these compounds to work their way across the room, while moving in random directions and undergoing collisions with other molecules.

Answer to Question 2

A

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
