It would be dependent on a large number of factors, but in most cases I would assume the short answer to be yes. The main factors i could see being involved would be the angle of approach it had toward the sun, what speed it was already moving at before it became significantly effected by the suns gravity and what other large gravitational fields or solid objects it would encounter before passing the sun. But assuming it was moving fairly slowly and it was not on a path to take it into another object or force to cause it to lose momentum, I would say it would most definitely speed up as it was pulled toward the sun; as the gravity becomes stronger as it gets closer due to being pulled in. If it wound up on a direct course towards the sun at some point the gravity increase would become exponential and it would most definitely accelerate a great deal before being destroyed.
What else can I help you with?
How fast of speed does a astriod go?
I assume you mean "asteroid". The speed of an asteroid is comparable to that of a planet. For example, an asteroid with an orbit similar to Earth's orbit would have a speed similar to Earth, which moves around the Sun at a rate of 30 km/second. An asteroid that is much further out will be slower; one that gets closer to the Sun will move faster, at least during part of its orbit.You can calculate the speed of an asteroid from Earth's speed, and the relative distances to the Sun, using Kepler's Third Law.
Does the asteroid belt rotate and at what speed does the asteroid belt rotate at?
The asteroids in the asteroid belt do move around the Sun, but they don't rotate as a single unit like a planet does. Each asteroid has its own orbital path and speed, so there isn't a specific speed at which the asteroid belt as a whole rotates.
What is the revolution of the asteroid belt around the sun?
The revolution of asteroids in the asteroid belt is typically between 2 to 6 years, depending on the specific asteroid's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. The average distance of the asteroid belt from the Sun is about 2.2 to 3.3 astronomical units (AU), with one AU being the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
What asteroid passes nearest to the sun?
The asteroid 2020 AV2 has the closest perihelion (closest approach to the sun) of any known asteroid, coming within about 6.61 million kilometers of the sun. This asteroid has an elliptical orbit that takes it very close to the sun before swinging out into the outer solar system.
Does an an asteroid have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun or the earth?
An asteroid will have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun due to the stronger gravitational force exerted by the sun compared to the earth. This acceleration causes the asteroid to move faster when it is closest to the sun.

Which is fastest moving an asteroid moon sun earth?
for fastest speed of actual forward movement i believe its an asteroid
Where is the asteroid belt in Astro Knights poptropica?
you go past the sun then down until it says Warning: Entering Asteroid Belt.

Since terminal velocity in a vacuum is undefined due to there being no force of friction will an object flying through space like an asteroid only increase its speed over time?
The situation depends. If an asteroid is going in a circular orbit around the Sun, its speed will remain constant. If, on the other hand, it is falling directly towards the Sun, its speed will increase quite a lot - up to about 618 km/sec (the escape velocity of the Sun), assuming it comes from infinity.If, on the other hand, some object is in an elliptical orbit, it will get faster and faster while it approaches the Sun (or any other central body), but then it will have enough momentum to escape, and it will get slower and slower while it moves "upward" again.The situation depends.

Are you going todie because of an asteroid?
Don't worry, no one will die of any asteroid or Sun or floods. Everyone will live through December 21st 2012 and enjoy your future 2013. :)
Does an an asteroid have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun or the earth?
An asteroid will have a larger acceleration when it is nearest to the sun due to the stronger gravitational force exerted by the sun compared to the earth. This acceleration causes the asteroid to move faster when it is closest to the sun.
How fast can an asteroid go?
Asteroids orbit the sun at several tens of thousands of miles per hour. The speed varies depending on the orbit.
What are movement?
The asteroid movement is like comets, as they c0ome closer to the sun, the speed of their revolution increases and the gravitational pull also adds up.
Do the speed of the planets decrease when they are far from the sun?
They are going faster so they are farther from the sun.
