Suppose a spaceship traveling at 1000 mph enters in the area free of gravitational force and free of air resistance.If the pilot wishes to slow the ship down, he can accomplish that by shutting off the engine for a while. Is this a true or false statement

False because the spaceship inertia when it shutting down the ship's engine will not slow it down
