Answer:

Gravitational and resistance force.

Explanation:

The push or pull on any object which causes an object to move is called force. The forces can be of many types. The forces acting on the falling leaf are :

  • Gravitational force : The force that acts in downward direction is called the force of gravity. This force pulls every object towards it.
  • Resistance force/ normal : The force that act opposite to gravitational force is called the resistance force. It opposes the direction of motion of the leaf.
