Drag the moon to various locations in order to determine the quantitative effect of distance upon the gravitational force. Examine the effect of doubling, tripling and quadrupling the distance of separation (as measured from planet's center). Consider the planet's surface to be a distance of one Earth-radius (1 R.). Use the table at the right to record data for whole-number multiples of R. Separation Force (fictional units) Distance 2 R 3 R 4 • Ret 5 R 6 • Rnet 7• Ret 8 .
