Gravity, forcing it down; air resistance forcing it up.
As a leaf falls, the main forces acting on it are gravity, which pulls the leaf downward, and air resistance, which pushes against the leaf as it moves through the air. Gravity is responsible for the leaf's acceleration towards the ground, while air resistance opposes this motion and slows the leaf down.
The main forces acting on the falling climber are gravity pulling them downwards and air resistance pushing against their motion. These forces together determine the acceleration of the climber as they fall.
True. The overall net force acting on a falling leaf is due to the gravitational force pulling it downward and the air resistance pushing against it as the leaf falls through the air.
The forces acting on the egg are gravity pulling it downwards and the normal force pushing it upwards. The normal force is exerted by the branch of the tree the egg is falling from, preventing it from falling through the branch.
The two forces acting on an object that is falling are gravity, which pulls the object downward towards the center of the Earth, and air resistance, which opposes the object's downward motion and slows its fall.

The two main forces acting on a falling object in Earth's atmosphere are gravity, which pulls the object downward, and air resistance (also known as drag), which opposes the object's motion and slows it down as it falls.
Mainly gravity, and air resistance.
When a parachutist is falling, the forces acting on them are gravity pulling them downward and air resistance pushing against their fall. Gravity is the dominant force causing the parachutist to accelerate towards the ground while air resistance counteracts this force, eventually leading to a terminal velocity where the forces are balanced.
