In in zero gravity space a mouse and an elephant bumped nto you would it have the same effect?

No, assuming the mouse and elephant hit you at the same speed. The elephant has a much greater mass, so a greater force is required to accelerate it. Think of the difference between a Baseball hitting you at 50 mph and a car hitting you at 50 mph.
The lack of a large gravity well nearby does not waive Newton's laws of motion.

An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space If they were moving toward you with the same speed would they bump into you with the same effect Explain?
Yes, they would. In gravity-free space, weight does not affect momentum or collision impact. Both the elephant and the mouse would bump into you with the same effect because their momentum is determined by their velocity and mass, not their weight.
Why is the elephant heavier than the mouse?
On both it has the same amount of gravity but it has a different amount of force. The elephant might weighmore than the cat but they both have the exact same amount of gravity, or as others say it, acceleration. So the answer would be that it pull down on both of them with an equal amount of force.
