Answer 1

The correct answer is "It will continue moving in a straight line".

Step-by-step explanation:

In space, gravity has no effect such as it has on Earth, which makes objects keep moving until an external force acts upon them. In this case, if Fredo takes a baseball and tosses it into space it will continue moving in a straight line until an external force acts upon it. Fredo gave momentum to the baseball when he tosses it in space, which will make it move it on straight line during an undefined period of time.

Answer 2

Answer: It should keep going in a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Space has no air, so no Friction that could stop the ball, no gravity to affect the ball, and no physical object such as a planet that could come in contact with it. So the ball will continue in a straight line for an incredibly long time until it possibly hits an asteroid or something but besides that fact, it will continue in the direction he threw it.
