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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why some leaves may get detached from a tree when its branch is vigorously shaken, we can break down the explanation into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Inertia**: - Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. 2. **Initial State of the Leaves**: ...

Explain the following People often shake branches of a tree for getting down its fruits.

A solid shere of radius R carries a charge Q distributed uniformly over its valume. A very small point like piece of it of mass m gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge q. If it acquires a speed v when it has fallen through a vertical height y (seefigure), then :(assume the remaining protion to be spherical).

When liquid medicine of density rho is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bylb on the top of the dropper is pressed. A drop frons at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy, To determine the size. We calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. when this force become smaller than the weight of the drop the drop gets detached from the dropper. After the drop detaches, its surface energy is

Moelcules in air in the atmosphere are attracted by gravitational force of the earth. Explain why all of them do not fall into the earth just like an apple falling from a tree.

If the radius of the opening of the dropper is r, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius R (assuming rlt ltR) is

"People often shake branches of a tree in an attempt to cause the fruits to fall." Explain.

We already know the rule for the pattern of letters L, C and F. Some of theletters from Q.1 (given above) give us the same rule as that given by L. Which are these? Why does this happen?

A boy stretches a stone against the rubber tape of a catapult or gulel (a device used to detach mangoes from the tree by boys in Indian villages) through a distance of 24 cm before leaving it. The tape returns to its normal position accelerating the stone over the stretched length. The stone leaves the gulel with a speed 2.2 m/s. Assuming that the acceleration is constant while the stone was being pushed by the tape, find its magnitude.

When liquid medicine of density rho is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bylb on the top of the dropper is pressed. A drop frons at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy, To determine the size. We calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. when this force become smaller than the weight of the drop the drop gets detached from the dropper. If r=5xx10^(-4)m,rho=10^(3) kg m^(-3), g=10ms^(-2), T=0.11Nm^(-1), The radius of the drop when it detaches from the dropper is approximately,
