Conservation of Momentum: A 14-cm diameter champagne bottle rests on its side on top of a frictionless horizontal table. Suddenly, the cork pops and the bottle slides backward, covering a distance of 22.0 cm in 0.44 s. If the mass of the bottle is 500 times the mass of the cork, find the distance from the original position that the cork will land on the table. Neglect air resistance and assume that the cork is very small compared to the bottle.
