A freight car, open at the top, weighing 9.75 metric tons, is coasting along a level track with negligible friction at 1.36 m/s when it begins to rain hard. The raindrops fall vertically with respect to the ground. What is the speed of the car when it has collected 0.50 metric tons of rain? What assumptions, if any, must you make to get your answer?
