A gymnast uses speed and force to control their acceleration during a routine by carefully managing their momentum and body position. When approaching a landing, they generate speed through their movements, which helps build momentum. As they prepare to land, they apply force through their legs to decelerate and stabilize their body. By bending their knees and adjusting their center of gravity, they can effectively counteract their speed and bring themselves to a controlled stop, allowing them to "stick" the landing.
