Changing Mass A railroad hopper car filled with sand is rolling with an initial speed of 15.0

Question:

Changing Mass A railroad hopper car filled with sand is rolling with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s on straight, horizontal tracks. You can ignore frictional forces on the railroad car. The total mass of the car plus sand is 85,000 kg. The hopper door is not fully closed so sand leaks out the bottom. After 20 min, 13,000 kg of sand has leaked out then what is the speed of the railroad car? (Compare your analysis with that used to solve Exercise 8.27.)
