We saw in Newton's laws of motion that if we apply an external unbalanced force on a ball,it will move and also will come to a stop because of gravitational pull and also frictional force. If we do the same thing in space,will the ball come to a stop?

Because,in space there is no frictional force and no gravitational pull,so will it come to stop?
