After the diver jumps forward from the diving board the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion?
No. It will accelerate the diver downward only.
What is the effect of gravity on a falling object?
The effect of gravity on ANY object - falling or not - is to pull it downward. If the object is in free fall, it will accelerate downwards.
How can a bicycle seat exert a force?
If you sit on it, you push downward. The bicycle seat naturally pushes back up - if this wasn't the case, you would accelerate downward, due to the force of gravity.
When is an object said to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
How is gravity related to free fall?
Gravity and free fall are similar because they are both a force that pulls objects downward. <><><><><> Gravity is the force that pulls you down. Free fall is when you have no opposing force keeping you up.
What happens if gravity is the unbalanced force?
The object will accelerate in a downward direction.
Is it possible for one to say that an object moving vertically downward can accelerate less than the value of acceleration due to Gravity?
Yes, but only when you are extremely high above the surface of the earth, as the gravitational potential energy decreases, and therefore is less than 9.8m/s/s (if on earth)
What direction does the force of gravity apply to the rollercoaster car?
From what I know, Force of Gravity always acts in the vertically downward direction.

No. It will accelerate the diver downward only.

When is an objects to be in free fall?
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
What does vertically upwards mean?
Vertical means straight up and down,aligned with the direction of gravity. Vertically upward means vertical in the up direction. So if you jump directly straight up that is vertically upward; when you land you are travelling vertically downward.
Is the acceleration due to gravity always pointing vertically downward even for an object whose velocity is vertically upward?
Acceleration only depends on the direction of the applied force and is independent of the velocity of the object, so gravity is always pointing down.

Near the surface of the earth what is the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity?
In free fall,the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in downward direction Huizar,Alexandra
