A satellite in force-free space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust at a rate of (dm / dt) = α v where m is mass and v is the speed of satellite and a is a constant. The deceleration of the satellite is

a
2αv2m
b
αv2m
c
αv22m
d
αv2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

F=-vdmdt=-v×(αv)=-αv2So, the acceleration of satellite =Fm=-αv2m∴Deceleration of satellite =αv2m.
