There is no chance of colliding with another one of the major planets (Mars, Venus, etc) but it is inevitable that the earth will be hit by smaller bodies and, in fact, it is. Every day (ever seen a shooting star?). There are too many small objects in the solar system for us to cruise round the sun forever and not get hit by something. The only major body to hit the earth will be the sun during its expansion stage but we're safe from that for about another 4 billion years :).

Well we've done relatively alright 4 the past 3 billion years or so.
Had a few near misses, less than 10,000 miles or so & we're all still here.
Huh?
Sorry, I haven't got a clue from a BCS angle, just spaff out the top of my head.

There is bound to be a chance, sure. But borrowing trouble from tomorrow won't help you today.
Unless of course you are in the field of Physics and you are interested in tracking the possibility.
Good Luck

Newton's 0.33 regulation of action is obviously utilized to collisions between 2 products. In a collision between 2 products, the two products experience forces that are equivalent in cost and opposite in direction. Such forces reason one merchandise to hurry up (benefit momentum) and the different merchandise to decelerate (lose momentum). in accordance to Newton's 0.33 regulation, the forces on the two products are equivalent in cost. at an identical time as the forces are equivalent in cost and opposite in direction, the acceleration of the products are no longer inevitably equivalent in cost. In accord with Newton's 2nd regulation of action, the acceleration of an merchandise relies upon upon the two stress and mass. subsequently, if the colliding products have unequal mass, they might have unequal accelerations as a results of the touch stress which ends in the process the collision.

Dont worry.
You will never collide with a celestial body.

I think you're looking the more evident picture which is: what happens when the earth's gravitational pull veers off of it current solar systematic path?

Probably with asteroids not planet.
