Bob(t) = 6600 - 16t^2
\n" ); document.write( "Betty(t) = 7400 - 16t^2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Betty(t) - Bob(t) = 800 feet
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "For all values of t, the difference is 800 feet as long as they're in freefall, ignoring air resistance and other physical differences.
