Question

Explain why some of the leaves may get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake this branch

Answer 1

the leaves of the tree have inertia of rest when the branch is shaken it moves but the leaf tends to be in the state of rest due to its inertia thus, they can detached from the trees

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:when the branch of the tree is shaken,the tree moves in to and fro motion. However ,the inertia of leaves in attached to the branch resists the motion of the branch . Therefore ,the leaves that are weakly attached to the branch fall off due to inertia whereas the leaves that are firmly attached to the branch remain attached .
