After the diver jumps forward from the diving board, the force of gravity will accelerate the diver parallel to the direction of motion. ______ 15. When the diver hits the water, the force of the water against her body can stop it about five times faster than the pull of gravity accelerated it. ______ 16. If the diver doesn't have the correct form when she enters the water, the force of the water can accelerate her speed. ______ 17. When the diver enters the water, the force of the water is opposite to the velocity of the diver. ______ 18. Momentum prevents the diver from moving in a straight line once she jumps from the platform
