Question: what happen if you throw gullium in space

Wow, good question! The famous astronomer and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, made a law that the velocity (how fast an object is moving in a particular direction) of any object will remain constant if no forces affect it. This tells us that if you were to throw an object in deep space, away from the Earth and other planets, it will actually keep moving at a constant speed. Despite whether this object is gallium, a doughnut, a lego brick – it will keep going until it’s path is blocked by another object or gets affected by the gravity of a large object nearby, no matter how far that distance. Pretty cool!
