The ant"s horizontal speed is always half of the spider"s. The shotest distance between the ant & spider during their entire motion is

see one of the spiders has a velocty along x axis as v

another spider will have a net velocity of v.. so the componnent along x axis will be less than v..

so the relative velocity will be mroe than v.. no matter which direction the spider is moving....

SO i think the distance can only increase.!

i think there is some problem in there initial positions ant should be at (1,0)and spider(-1,0)

otherwise there distance is always increaseing
