Explain why some of the leaves may get detached from a tree if we vigorously shake its branch.
(N/A) When we shake the branch of a tree vigorously,the branch comes into motion. However,the leaves tend to remain in their state of rest due to the inertia of rest. Because the leaves resist the change in their state of motion,they experience a force that causes them to detach and fall from the tree.
