A cart with frictionless wheels  is initially moving at a constant velocity on a horizontal surface. Suddenly, rain starts falling vertically down into the cart. The rain drops come to a stop with respect to the cart after hitting it, and water begins accumulating in the cart. Consider the following statements: The cart will keep moving at constant velocity because the rain falls vertically, so that it can’t change the horizontal component of momentum. The cart will keep moving at constant velocity because the total mechanical energy of the cart-water system is conserved. The cart will slow down because the horizontal component of the momentum of the cart-water system is conserved. Which of the above statements must be true about this situation?
