41 Meters that is nothing lol if it hits our atmosphere it will burn up to 5m and brake apart
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25077667


On January 13, 2010 at 12:46 UT, near-Earth asteroid 2010 AL30[45] passed at about 122,000 km (76,000 mi). It was approximately 10–15 m (33–49 ft) wide. If 2010 AL30 had entered the Earth's atmosphere, it would have created an air burst equivalent to between 50 kT and 100 kT (kilotons of TNT). The Hiroshima "Little Boy" atom bomb had a yield between 13-18kT.[46]

From Wikipedia

^^^^ I was referring to the statement above from wikipedia. didn't sound like they were saying anything about something being 15 meters breaking up, so logically, you would think something 3 times bigger would have a bigger impact, no?
 Quoting: CitizenX1


if its not iron based it would, as the bigger the area the higher chance it will brake apart.
