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

Question

or why do leaves fall from a tree when we shake its trunk?explain

Answer 1

Two reasons.

One.  The leave stem is only so strong.  You CAN break it if you apply enough force (especially at the resonant frequency).

Two.  Some leaves are dead (although they may still appear green) and their attachment is quite week.  A wind or a shake will dislodge them.

Poor tree.

Answer 2

Due to Inertia.

When we shake a tree leaves get detached cus they resist the change in their state.(stationary state).

Answer 3

It is due to the inertia of rest.
