Answer 1

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. 

Answer 2

Gravitational and resistance force.

Step-by-step 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.
