Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The answer to this cause lies behind Newton’s First Law of Motion. Initially, leaves and tree both are in rest. But when the tree is shaken vigorously, the tree comes in motion while leaves tend to be in rest. Thus, because of remaining in the position of rest some of the leaves may get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake its branch.
