When they are ripe acorns fall to the ground from the oak tree they grew on so that they can send out roots and grow to become new oak trees. In nature this is what happens to many other fruits of plants. In practice only a small percentage of the fruits ever grow into mature plants after they have fallen from their parent plant. It is exactly the same for acorns: many of them get eaten by hungry animals and most of the rest just lie on the ground until they rot away into the soil.

Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
How does force and gravity effect a falling object?
Gravity is a force that accelerates the falling object towards the ground.

What is the force on the ground of a 12kg acorn falling from a tree?
The impact force depends upon the height from which it has fallen (IE- its velocity upon impact), and the duration of impact (determined by the elasticity of the collision). However, the object exerts no force upon the ground *while* falling.
