It also depends on the iron content, relative speed, and incidence angle, but this is pretty small.

No need to share that small detail...

2m won’t have any trouble getting through atmosphere buts it’s probably not going to get epic. Barringer crater in Arizona was caused by one about 50m diameter and 300k tons.

Kinda short notice but would be nice to park that sucker in orbit if metal.
