Answer: apparent weighlessness.
Explanation:
1) Balance of forces on a person falling:
i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).
ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).
iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).
2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.
3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.
Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.
This question needs research to be answered. From the given information alone it can't be answered without making wild assumptions.
Ideally, you need to take a look at a distribution (or a histogram) of asteroid diameters, identify the "mode" of such a distribution, and find the corresponding diameter. That value will be the answer.
I am attaching one such histogram on asteroid diameters from the IRAS asteroid catalog I could find online. (In order to get a single histogram, you need to add the individual curves in the figure first). Eyeballing this sample, I'd say the mode is somewhere around 10km, so the answer would be: the diameter of most asteroid from the IRAS asteroid catalog is about 10km.

Explanation:
Displacement is the straight line distance from the starting position to the final position.
Person X walks halfway around circle. So her displacement is 100 m.
Person Y walks 3/4 of the way around. So his displacement is 50√2 m ≈ 70.7 m.
Person Z walks completely around the circle, so their displacement is 0 m.
Therefore:
Z < Y < X
