Question

One stone is dropped off a bridge. Another stone is dropped one second later. assuming free fall which of the following statements is the most accurate description for times when both are falling?

there were four options however i know the answer is as the stones fall, their relative position increases in magnitude but why is the answer not as the stones fall their relative velocity increases in magnitude?

Are we talking relative to each other?
v = d/t

Therefore they will fall the same distance in the same amount of time which means the same velocity. However their position is different due to a difference in release.
