Question

Which one of the following options is correct about the motion of the Moon around the Earth?
a. The Moon falls towards the center of the Earth at every point at every point of its motion.
b. The Moon hits the surface of the Earth.
c. The direction of motion of the Moon and the direction of gravitational force are always perpendicular.

  1. Only (a) and (b) are correct 
  2. Only (a) and (c) are correct 
  3. Only (c)and (d) are correct 
  4. None is correct 

hintHint:

 Moon orbits Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates.

The correct answer is: Only (a) and (c) are correct


    The Moon falls towards the center of the Earth at every point at every point of its motion and the direction of motion of the Moon and the direction of gravitational force are always perpendicular
