IF NOT – HOW- DOES THE EARTH ETABLISH THE RESISTANCE THE MOON NEEDS TO STAY IN ORBIT?]
The "rebistance" is called gravitational attraction that is the main force working on the moon, which pulls perpedicular to the orbital velocity of the moon, thus it does no work. In a Keplerian orbit the orbiting body is in free fall, but missing the Earth all the time.
The gravitational attraction (or the connection) can be compared to the string between the cowboy and the bull.
This it self is not resistance, but only a connection between to bodies.
So you haven’t explained where the resistance comes from that keep the moon in orbit.
Resistance = energy consumption.
So simple is that.
So you also must explain where the energy comes from to etablish the resistance and prevent the moon to escape.
Now you are claiming that the Moon increases its speed by 2 times (and so it kinetic energy by 4 times) every second (or every orbit or both)
That is insane because the Moon does not do this.
No I am only claiming that 4 times so much energy PER ORBIT as presented by the KE of the objects speed MUST be converted to resistance, otherwise the orbit will not work. BUT you can not see that energy being deducted or added.
If this not was so nothing would be in orbit.
