the forces acting on a leaf are gravity and air resistance.In some cases the only force acting on an object is gravity, if that occurs then its called freefall.
Gravitational and resistance force. ;
The forces acting on a falling leaf include the gravitational force pulling it downward and air resistance acting upward. Gravitational force is constant, while air resistance depends on the leaf's speed and shape. Together, these forces determine how the leaf moves as it falls.
