Results of numerical calculations for a gravitational system: point object with the mass of Moon orbiting around a source object with the mass of Earth on a lunar orbit, with the initial speed and distance given for a periapsis at two different values of the speed of light (two different v/c ratios): (a) - (b) c=300,000 km/s and (c)-(d) c=100 km/s. (a) and (c): two components of force (Fr in red, and Fp in blue); (b) and (d): cosine of a rotation angle of perihelion precession. For an increasing speed of an object (decreasing a value of in numerical calculations), component Fr indeed decreases, while component Fp significantly grows. Meanwhile, a perihelion’s precession is negligible for low speed, and it becomes substantial for larger speeds (in (d) a period of precession is about 300,000 days).
