w2

A railway car on a horizontal frictionless track initially has mass m and speed
vo. Sand is then dropped vertically downward onto the car, starting from rest at a vertical
height h. The sand hits the card at a constant rate u (mass/time). Assume that when the
2.
sand hits the cart, the sand instantaneously comes to rest relative to the cart. If the sand
starts hitting the cart at t = 0, find the velocity of the cart as a function of time.
