FIGURE 12-3 Dependence of the gravitational Q force on the separation distance, r The force of gravity decreases rapidly with distance . . . Gravitational force, F . .. but never becomes zero. 4.... Separation distance, r The 1/72 dependence of the gravitational force means that it decreases rapidly with distance. Still, it never completely vanishes. For this reason, we
