The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
\sum F=ma
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.

What are the disadvantages of friction ?
lawyer [7]
In general? Well one example could be that if you owned an ice rink and somehow the ice had friction, you wouldn't be able to slide around on it any more to skate because the motion between one solid (your feet) and another (the ice) would increase. An effect of friction is heat, but my mixtape already fire so whats that even matter tbh.
