Two objects are dropped from a bridge an interval of 1.0s apart. air resistance is negligible. during the time that both objects continue to fall, their separation increases. can someone explain why it increases, instead of staying constant?

If the two objects are dropped at 1.0 s time interval, their velocity will increase as they descend which will cause their separation distance to increase because velocity is directly proportional to displacement.

The rate at which each object falls is influenced by their respective weights. If air resistance is negligible, gravity will continue to pull each object until it hits the ground.

The influence of gravity will cause the following:

Thus, if the two objects are dropped at 1.0 s time interval, their velocity will increase as they descend which will cause their separation distance to increase because velocity is directly proportional to displacement.

it becomes positively charged by charging it

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
