As the moon moves around earth which is true? A) The attraction of the moon to the center of the earth accelerates its path into a nearly circular orbit B)The Drag force of the tides on the moon Bends its path into a nearly circular orbit C)The drag force on the moon keeps it from getting too far away D)It’s attraction to the earth is canceled by the centrifugal force so it moves perpendicular to its orbit
