Question

Assertion: When astronauts throw something in space, that object would continue moving in the same direction and with the same speed. Reason: The acceleration of an object produced by a net applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force and inversely related to the mass of the object.

Answer 1

Answer:

Because there is no presence of air and gravity in space.

Explanation:

I think so the object moves slowly toward any celestial body whose gravitational pull will be attracting that object towards them. For example you can take the case of our galaxy and Andromeda galaxy. Both of the galaxies r pulling each other closer due to their gravitational pull. Same u can take of asteroids, hey crash into any celestial body due to its gravitational pull (gravity is only present in celestial bodies) when they r close to it.
