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.

Semenov [28]
The horizontal component of the force is the product of the cosine of the angle and the magnitude of the force, Fx = (73.8 N)(cos 39) = 57.35 N. The vertical component of this force is the product of the sine of the angle and the force, Fy = (73.8 N)(sin 39) = 46.44 N.

What is entropy?
AysviL [449]

Answer: Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.
