How would the motion of the moon change if there were no centripedial force acting on it?

it would stay in place because the earth is its centripetal force and if it doesnt have the earth it wouldn't orbit

The motion of a body when only force of gravity is acting on the body?
zero velocity =)
What effects does gravity have on planets?
The same effect as it has on any other object. The gravitational field produces a force; this force, acting on a planet, will accelerate it - that is, it will change its velocity.
The force that holds planets in their orbit?
The force that holds the planets in orbit is gravity, although inertia( the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.) help to hold it in place as well, because the two forces balance each other out.
The centripetal force that makes the Moon travel in a circle around the Earth instead of continuing in a straight line is?
As the moon orbits the Earth, the force of gravity acting upon the moon provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
Is momentum the only major force acting on a satellite?
Momentum is not a force.The only major force acting on a satellite is the gravitational attraction of the Earth (assuming it happens to go around the Earth).
Will an unalanced force acting on an object change the object motion?
Yes,unbalaced force may stop or change the direction of motion or accelarate the object.
How do you produse a change in motion?
Motion requires a force acting upon an object. When the object changes so does motion.
Is change in anobjet's motion anunbalanced force?
Not exactly. 'Motion' or 'change of motion' are not force. But the only way to change an object's motion is to cause the group of forces on it to be unbalanced. If the object's motion is changing, then you can be sure that the group of forces acting on it is unbalanced.
What causes an object to change speed of the direction of motion?
A force acting on the body, along its line of motion.
What happens to the direction of motion of the ball what changes it direction of motion?
A force acting on the ball, at an angle to its line of motion, will cause its direction of motion to change.
What is the result of an unbalanced force acting on an object?
The result is acceleration of the object ... its speed of motion, or direction of motion, or both, change.
Can unbalanced force change an objects motion?
If the group of forces acting on an object is unbalanced, the object's motion always changes. The change is called "acceleration".
What kind of force acts on an object and causes a change in motion?
This kind of force acting on a object cause a change in the objects motion
What are forces that result in motion?
Motion does not require a force; if no force is acting on a body in motion, its motion will be constant. A force is required to change motion, and any unbalanced force acting on an object can do this.
What does Unbalanced force mean?
Ubalanced force: is when two forces are acting on an object results in a net force and causes a change in the object's motion.
Can the object be in motion if the net force acting on it is zero?
Yes. No force is required to keep moving - a force is required, however, to change the velocity.
If this acts on an object the object will change speed and direction?
You mean a force I guess. A force acting on an object will make it accelerate or decelerate, and if it is acting at an angle to the existing line of motion will make it change direction.
