What type of energy conversions occur as the board springs back and propels the diver up into the air?
The board stores energy as the diver jumps onto it, then returns the energy, which the diver may then use in addition to what he adds with his next jump. This will continue until he jumps away from the board, or until it breaks from attempting to store too much energy.
After a diver jumps forward from the diving board the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion?
Yes!
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 type of energy does a boy have who jumps up and dives off of a diving board?
Kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy.
What is a person called that jumps into a swimming pool?
a diver smartass
When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him to the water what is the reaction force to earths gravity?
While he's in the air, the reaction force is air resistance and when he's in the water the reaction force is upthrust. Hope this helps.
When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him or her to the water What is the reaction force to Earth's gravity?
Gravity always acts as a pair of forces, not as one single force. The strength of the forces depends on both masses, not just one of them. The forces of gravity attract the diver toward the earth and the earth toward the diver. The forces are equal in both directions. If the diver weighs 150 pounds on earth, then the earth weighs 150 pounds on the diver. The diver accelerates toward the center of the earth with an acceleration equal to (weight)/(diver's mass), and the earth accelerates toward the diver with an acceleration equal to (weight)/(earth's mass). Has that helped, or just confused the issue further ?

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.

A diver jumps from a 48ft cliff into the ocean with an initial velocity of 8 seconds when does he hit the water?
"8 seconds" is not a velocity.
What energy does the student have before he jumps of the bridge?
