Yes, the diver will continue to accelerate downwards for the duration of the dive, primarily due to the force of gravity acting on them. Initially, as they enter the water, they may experience a brief deceleration due to water resistance. However, once they reach terminal velocity, the acceleration will decrease and eventually stabilize as the upward force from the water drag balances the downward gravitational force.

After the diver jumps forward from the diving board the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion?

After the diver jumps forward from the diving board, the force of gravity will act vertically downwards, accelerating the diver towards the water. The forward motion of the diver will continue unless another force, like air resistance or the water, acts in the opposite direction to slow them down.

Is it possible to become a professional diver if you start at the age of 16?

Yes, Just continue doing what you do, and follow the path to be a professional diver.


Does a diver at the top of a diving board have kinetic energy?

Yes, the diver at the top of the diving board has potential energy due to their position above the ground. Once the diver jumps, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as they accelerate towards the water.


What form of energy does a diver on a tower have?

I am pretty sure that it is gravitational potential energy.


How does compression and tension act together by describing when a diver jumps up and down on a diving board?

When the diver jumps up on the diving board, the board experiences tension as it bends upwards. As the diver lands back on the board, it experiences compression as it bends downwards. These alternating tension and compression forces act together to provide the necessary rebound for the diver to propel themselves into the air.


Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?

No, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass due to gravity, neglecting air resistance. The acceleration of gravity on an object is independent of its mass.


If the diver doesn't have the correct form when she enters the water the force of the water can accelerate her speed?

Yes, that's correct. Proper form is crucial for divers to enter the water safely and efficiently. Failure to maintain the correct body position can result in increased water resistance, causing the diver to accelerate and possibly lose control upon entry.


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.

How long can a diver dive in 1 day?

It depends on many variables, such as the time the diver stays at a particular depth, the temperature, level of diver exertion, diver's physiology, etc, etc. Dive tables or a dive computer is used to calculate how long it is safe for the diver to stay submerged. The primary limitation on dive duration/depth during a day is how much Nitrogen the diver has absorbed into his or her tissues. Exceeding the safe limits can cause decompression illness. These limits are only rough guidelines however, as some people are at higher/lower risk for decompression illness based on their physiology, level of heath and fitness, and other factors.
