At any given time T, the coordinates form a right triangle with legs of length 5T and T. Therefore the distance D is given by D^2 = (5T)^2 + T^2 = 26T^2. This simplifies to D = T * sqrt(26). Therefore the rate of separation is sqrt(26) ft/sec regardless of time

The CA law is a prompt for self-reported age or birthdate. (1900 Jan 1, obviously.) This is not at all equivalent to “age verification” using ID or face scans.
