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. Is momentum conserved in this process?

A

The momentum of the rail car alone is conserved

B

The momentum of the rail car $+$ sand remaining within the car is conserved

C

The momentum of the rail car $+$ all of the sand, both inside and outside the rail car, is conserved

D

Both $(A)$ and $(C)$
