A satellite in force-free space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust at a rate \(\frac{dM}{dt}= \alpha v\) where \(M\) is the mass, \(v\) is the velocity of the satellite and \(\alpha\) is a negative constant. What is the deacceleration of the satellite?
1. \(\frac{-2\alpha v^2}{M}\)
2. \(\frac{-\alpha v^2}{M}\)
3. \(\frac{\alpha v^2}{M}\)
4. \(-\alpha v^2\)
