When a branch of a tree is shaken its fruits fall down. This is mainly due to inertia of rest. When the tree is shaken the tree is in motion, but the frits remain to be at rest. this is when they separate from the tree and hence fall due to gravity.

Why doesn't the mercury on a medical thermometer go down when it's removed from the body?

The mercury on a medical thermometer does not go down when removed from the body because the mercury expands to a certain level when it comes in contact with body heat, and even after it's removed, it does not contract back immediately. The thermometer needs to be shaken or reset for the mercury to go back down to its starting point.


What slows down fruit from ripening?

Several factors can slow down fruit ripening, such as low temperatures, lack of exposure to ethylene gas, and high levels of acidity. Storing fruit in the refrigerator can also delay the ripening process.


When the trees are shaken its fruits and leaves fall down why?

Fruits and leaves are composed of matter and therefore have inertia. When you shake them, therefore, there is some inertial resistance, which can be sufficient to overcome their attachment to the tree.

Why does the liquid in a thermometer go down before the temperature is taken?

It does not by itself. It must be shaken down. The liquid is mercury, which is very heat-expansive, i.e. it changes its volume noticeably and quickly depending on its temperature. The warmer, the larger the volume. That's why it's used in thermometers. However, thermometers are built so that the mercury does not go down by itself to enable taking precise readings (otherwise, it would fall quickly immediately after the thermometer is removed from the body). So, the thermometer must cool and the contracted but vacuum-stuck mercury must then be shaken down to take another measurement.

When a trees is shaken its fruits and leaves fall down?

Things fall down b/c gravity pulls in that direction. Fruits and leaves fall down when the added force of being shaken together with gravity becomes bigger than the strength of the attachment to the tree.
