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.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Derivation of Conservation of Momentum

Applying Newton's third law, these two impulsive forces are equal and opposite i.e. is equal to the change in momentum of the first object. is equal to the change in momentum of the second object. This relation suggests that momentum is conserved during the collision.
