Question
What are the advantages of classifying organisms?
✓

Answer

There are a wide range of life forms (about 10 million-13 million species) around us. These life forms have existed and evolved on the Earth over millions of years ago. The huge range of these life forms makes it very difficult to study them one by one. Therefore, we look for similarities among them and classify them into different classes so that we can study these different classes as a whole. This makes our study easier. Therefore, classification serves the following advantages:
  1. It determines the methods of organising the diversity of life on Earth.
  2. It helps in understanding millions of life forms in detail.
  3. It also helps in predicting the line of evolution.

An automobile engine propels a $1000kg$ car $(A)$ along a levelled road at a speed of $36km h^{-1}$. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is $100N$. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of $200m$, this car collides with another stationary car $(B)$ of same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now car $(B)$ starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car $(B)$ just after the collision.

Three different vibrating objects produce three types of sounds $X$, $Y$ and $Z$. Sounds $X$ and $Y$ cannot be heard by a man having normal range of hearing but sound $Z$ can be heard easily. The sound $X$ is used in hospitals to break kidney stones of a patient into fine grains whioch then get flushed out with urine. The sound $Y$ is similar to that which is produced during an earthquake before the main shock wave is generated.
