A dripping water faucet steadily releases drops 1.0 s apart. As these drops fall, will the distance between them increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Well, what are your thoughts on this? You need to make an attempt to solve the problem before we can help you out.
 
I think that distance will increase due to gravitational force which is proportional to masses
 
Can you demonstrate your hypothesis mathematically?
 
Sorry i can't that's why I am stuck. I just assumed it.
 
try using s = ut + 0.5at2
