The answer is...
We say that an object is in free-fall when gravity is the only force acting on it. Actually, the gravitational force of the sun and that of the earth both contribute importantly to the moon's path through space. Gravity can be used to "slingshot" spacecraft around planets, and we can still say the spacecraft is always in free-fall (unless it is firing its rocket engines)

Answer:
The Moon is in a state of free fall. It is kept in an orbit due to the centripetal force provided by the force of attraction between the earth and the moon. In the absence of this force, the moon will fly along a tangent to the circular path.
