Is an acorn falling from a tree an example of a balanced force acting on it?

First of all, there's no such thing a "a balanced force". Two or more forces are balancedif they all add up to zero.If the forces on an object are balanced, it either remains motionless, or else it movesin a straight line at a constant speed.When an acorn falls from a tree, it falls in a straight line, but its speed keeps increasinguntil it hits the ground. So the forces on it can't all add up to zero ... that is, howevermany forces are acting on it, they can't be balanced.

A leaf is not a pet. When a leaf falls off or is removed from a tree, it will dry up because it has lost its source of nutrients. You can't feed a leaf.


A leaf falls from a tree Compare its kinetic energy K to its potential energy U?

The Kinetic energy (K) is at the least when the leaf is still attached to the tree; it's Potential energy (U) is at its greatest. As the leaf falls, its K increases as its U decreases. This continues to happen until the leaf can no longer move. This will happen when something like the Earth (a large object with much more mass and much more energy) pushes against it. The Earth has more energy so the leaf comes to a stop on its surface.
