An isolated rail car originally moving with speed $v_0$ on a straight, frictionles, level track contains a large amount of sand. $A$ release valve on the bottom of the car malfunctions, and sand begins to pour out straight down relative to the rail car. What happens to the speed of the rail car as the sand pours out?
