Pull.
When a leaf falls from a tree, the force acting on it is primarily gravity. As the leaf is no longer attached to the tree, the only force acting on it is the gravitational force pulling it down towards the Earth.
Air resistance opposes gravity when a leaf falls. As the leaf moves through the air, the air particles push against it, generating a force in the opposite direction of its motion. This force increases as the leaf's speed increases, eventually balancing out with gravity to reach a constant falling speed.
The leaf does not fall straight down. It falls slowly because of air resistance. The air provides upward force. The upward force on the apple is negligible.
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 wind is blowing with so much force that the leaf doesn't have enough strength to withstand it, therefore the wind slows down a little but still retains its forward motion. Another example is when you punch a brittle wall. If you hit it with enough force it will break and your fist will go through and keep its forward motion, albeit a little slower.
a leaf
The potential energy stored in the leaf is converted to kinetic energy as it falls from a tree.
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.
No, a leaf lying on the grass is not an example of a balanced force. In this case, the force of gravity is acting on the leaf and pulling it towards the ground, while the force of friction between the leaf and the grass prevents it from moving.
There is no meteor falls on fire red or leaf green
the particular leaf falls under the minority reservation quota!
It is called a 'leaf scar'
