    I assume it varies with the density of the asteroid.

    And if we were using specifically shaped heat resistant metal rather than naturally forming ice/rock orbs it would burn up much less during re-entry too and impact with more tailored devastation, so the militarised artificial asteroid satellites could do bigger damage with smaller payloads.
