Answer:
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the Direction of Motion of the moon’s motion.
Explanation:
As we know that the gravitational force of Earth on moon is towards the center of Earth and it is always perpendicular to the direction of velocity of moon
Since the force is always perpendicular to the velocity so it can neither increase the magnitude of the speed nor it can decrease the magnitude.
So here we can say the speed will remain same due to the force of the earth on moon .
Hence this force of earth will only change the direction of the motion of moon during its motion around the Earth.
