Does air resistance prevent the diver from moving in a straight line once she jumps from the platform?

Since the plane is moving horizontally, the diver will also have this velocity relative to the ground, so on leaving the plane a parabolic curve will tend to be followed although this will be distorted by air resistance.

What is moving perpendicular?
Moving directly straight either horizontally or vertically. As if walking on a straight line.
When are you most aware of motion in a moving vehicle--when its moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelerating?
straight line
What is the definition of science inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of a body to stay still or to keep moving at a steady speed in a straight line. Alternatively, you can say it's a body's resistance to a change in its state of motion.
What is the resistance of air to a moving object?
drag friction
How do you stop air resistance?
By moving in a vacuum. Other than that, basically you can't. You can reduce air resistance, by building vehicles so they have an aerodynamic shape - but you can't eliminate air resistance entirely, for any moving object.
Why should a bicycle be oiled?
To keep moving parts moving with minimum resistance, and to prevent exposed metal parts from rusting.

What prevents the diver from moving in a straight line once she jumps from the platform?
If there is any horizontal component to the diver's velocity, then that will cause a parabolic path instead of a straight line fall due to gravity.
