The water creates less friction between your foot and the ground
The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has
1/2 (mass) (speed squared)
of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So
1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)
is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.
