If nylon is sensitive to moisture absorption, why can it still function well as a tow rope for water skiers?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why is a polyimide film ideal in a very high-temperature electrical application, even one in which the film may be slowly degraded?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The absorption of cold water is very slow in nylon. Furthermore, tow ropes are usually not totally submerged for long periods of time and therefore do not have

high absorptions. Furthermore, nylon ropes are seldom pulled to their limit in this application so the small decrease in tensile strength is not critical.

Answer to Question 2

Polyimide film has a very high temperature capability. Then as it might degrade, rather than melt, it remains a solid that keeps the electrical conductors separated. The char that is formed may eventually conduct, but char formation is usually a slow process.

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.
