Suppose you were able to throw a ball in outer space would it slow down as quickly in space as it does on Earth?

No. There is no atmosphere in outer space. So there would be less resistance to slow the ball down.
Not so. There is no resistance in space, it is a vacuum. It would go on forever unless acted upon by an outside force, such as the gravitational pull of another object. Simple Newtonian physics.

Why are meteorities a possible source of information regarding the orgin and composition of Earth?
Because they were made the same time as the Earth from the same materials. And, since they have basically been frozen in time in outer space, they can tell us a lot about the composition of the Earth. The materials on Earth are constantly being recycled and nothing remains from the birth of the Earth, so that is why we look to outer space and the meteorites that fall to Earth to give us clues to its origin.
