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.

When a fruit is shaken from a tree it drops down because of?

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 fruits fell down from tree?

Fruits fall from trees due to a combination of factors such as ripeness, gravity, wind, and the natural abscission process. When fruits reach maturity, they release enzymes that weaken the stem attachment, making them more likely to detach and fall to the ground where they can disperse seeds and germinate.


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.


Can living things such as trees can both slow down and speed up erostion?

Yes, trees can both slow down and speed up erosion. Tree roots help hold soil in place, which can slow down erosion by stabilizing the soil. However, if trees are removed or deforested in an area, it can lead to increased erosion as there are no longer roots to hold the soil in place.


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.


Why do leaves of trees always fall down?

Why do the fruits fall down from the tree when branches are shaken vigorously?

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 seperate from the tree and hence fall due to gravity.
