The figure above shows the position of a moon that orbits a planet in an elliptical path. Two specific locations of the moon, position A and position B, are labeled. In what direction is the net force exerted on the moon?
A Toward the planet
B
Toward the center of the ellipse
Away from the center of the ellipse
Parallel to the direction that the moon is moving at any given instant

Parallel to the direction that the moon is moving at any given instant

Explanation:

.

explanation:

to push or pull an object in a certain direction is known as force. a force in moving an object from one place to another.

force depends on the mass of an object. so, more is the mass of an object more will be the force required to move the object.

thus, we can conclude that the use of force to move an object is push or pull.
