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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When we shake vigorously a branch of a tree, some of the leaves may get detached on account of inertia of rest of the leaves. The branch comes in motion and leaves try to be in the position of rest.
Therefore, they get deatched.
