an elephant and a mouse would both have a weight of zero newton gravititional free space; however, they would still retain their''amount of matter'' also known as inertia if they were moving toward you with the same speed, would they bump into you with the same effect why

An elephant and a mouse both have the same weight in gravity-free space. If they are moving toward you with the same speed, would they bump into you with the same effect?
A:
We may not be able to measure their weightbecause of the lack of significant gravitational pull, but they still have mass.
This means that they will have momentum, since p (momentum) = mass x velocity. Going at the same speed, the elephant, having more mass, will have much more momentum. Because momentum must always be conserved, when the elephant bumps into you, it will have more effect than the mouse, as more momemtum will tranfser to you. The elephant bumping into you will send you careening away with more velocity than if the mouse bumped into you in space.
