Two identical objects were dropped down from the same point on a high tower under gravity with one second time difference. Do they keep the same difference of distance between them three seconds later?
And how to explain the answer.

Hint: Acceleration due to gravity. Determine how far apart they are after 1 second, then after 3 seconds.
