Jupiter is a fvking asshole....

[Goosemaster]

I realize that Jupiter is very far away. If a mass from the asteroid belt where to get overwhelmed by Jupiter's planetary gravity and get slung towards us, how long would it take reach us?

Basically, what possible veolcity could an asteroid achieve?

Really, really fast (lots and lots of velocity units.)

The chances of that happening, why, they're...Astronomical

On a serious note, the gravity of Jupiter has probably saved us many times by pulling in wayward asteroids and commets.

How fast would Jupiter have to be traveling in order to destroy the Earth if it were heading toward us?

in a word.... NO
