# You drop a rock off a bridge. When the rock has fallen \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \), you drop a second rock. As the two rocks continue to fall, what happens to their velocities?

You drop a rock off a bridge. When the rock has fallen \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \), you drop a second rock. As the two rocks continue to fall, what happens to their velocities?

- **A.** Both increase at the same rate.
- **B.** The velocity of the first rock increases faster than the velocity of the second.
- **C.** The velocity of the second rock increases faster than the velocity of the first.
- **D.** Both velocities stay constant.
