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.
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.
They would both float if you had no gravity.
No, kicking a bucket in space would not hurt since there is no gravity to cause it to hit anything. The bucket would continue to float in the same direction at a constant velocity.
It would spin out of earths orbit. And most likely hit a planet, star, comet, or keep on going.

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.
Nothing No One Can Hit A Planet
Same thing that would happen to you...
They would both float if you had no gravity.
When the air runs out, you will suffocate. When the power in your spacesuit runs out, your body would freeze solid, and would remain that way essentially forever.
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.
the earth would be destroyed
The economy would take a tremendous hit.
If one hit they would be unprepared.
