Newton's laws state that in the absence of other forces, an object will continue along its vector indefinitely.

Newton's First Law: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by unbalanced forces.

In reality, the gravity of other objects in space provide unbalanced forces. Eventually the ball would be captured by an objects gravitational field and would either fall to the surface or enter orbit.

Well, the space shuttle is no longer in space, it is in a museum, so if you hit a hockey puck off it, the hockey puck would probably crash into the museum wall.


What would happen if only one home run was hit in the first round of a home run derby would that be the end and the winner declared?

No


If you hit the home run in space what would happen?

In space, without gravity to pull the ball down, it would continue traveling in the direction it was hit until it is acted upon by another force. This means it would travel indefinitely until it potentially encounters another object or is influenced by a celestial body's gravitational pull.


What would happen if a space tornado hit Earth?

Nothing at all. There is no such thing as a "space tornado". Tornadoes are whirling AIR masses, and there's no air in space. But if you are referering to a wormhole or a black hole then the Earth would probably get sent through the wormhole to the phonomenom's destination.

F it were in orbit. It would not stop until it was acted upon by another force. ie. it hits something, or another planets gravity.
