A heavy rocket ship and a light rocket ship are both initially moving at 1000 kilometers per hour in outer space. They are very far from any planets so there are no gravitational forces acting on the rockets. They have just turned their engines off so they are now experiencing no forces.

Answer:Both will continue traveling at the same speed because there is no friction.

Explanation: Gravitational force or pull is the force acting to attract all object in and around the Earth to the center of the Earth. The Earth's Gravitational force acts as a Bar magnet.

When objects are working outside the impact of the force of Gravity, it will not matter whether the objects are of the same size or wether one is heavier than the other, in this case both objects will move at the same speed as there is no impact of the Force of Gravity.
