Answer:

The force of gravity is acting on the acorn.

A frictional drag force is acting on the acorn.

The net force on the acorn is less than the force of gravity.

Explanation:

The force of gravity is acting on the acorn is in vertically downwards direction.

A frictional drag force is acting on the acorn is in vertically upwards direction.

The net force on the acorn is given by

Net force = Force of gravity - Frictional drag force

It is always less than the force of gravity.
