Yes!
No. It will accelerate the diver downward only.
The object will accelerate in a downward direction.
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
Part of the mass is on one side, part of the mass is on the other side. As a result, instead of all the force of gravity pulling in the "forward" direction, part of it pulls in the "backward" direction. In the extreme case, the two masses would be the same, and in balance - the device doesn't accelerate at all.
Gravity, At any instant time the restoring force is the component of gravity acting parallel to the direction of the motion.
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate.

Since there is no gravity nor air resistance, they will continue to float in the direction where they were propelled.
Yes. They accelerate (change the direction of their movement) towards Earth, and this may be labelled as "falling".Yes.

The parachutist will go down, of course. If gravity is greater than air resistance, then the parachutist would accelerate (his speed would increase). This would increase air resistance, up to the point where gravity and air resistance are in balance.
