Hmm, it sounds like you're on the right track. How did you "take into account the momentum change?" It should have made a signifacant difference...
The answer is approximately 14876m. Can you see how this was derived? I should have picked a friction coefficient of 10! (that's an emphatic 10, not 10 factorial!)
