The diagram represents alpha particle A approaching a gold nucleus. D is the distance between the path of the alpha particle and the path for a head-on collision. head-on colision
gold nucleus
If Dis decreased, the angle of deflection () of the alpha particle would
1.
decrease
2
increase
remain the same

Transfer of electrons. hope it !

Answertraveling around a circular trackexplanation"traveling around a circular track" is the best answer as you could be traveling around a circular track at a constant speed. your velocity would therefore have the same magnitude but will always be constantly direction. since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, the rate of change will only involve the direction of velocity and not the magnitude.wrong choices: "an object at rest" does not accelerate at all"increasing speed while traveling around a curve" means that the acceleration will not be constant due to only change in direction; it will be constant due to both magnitude and direction"an object in free fall" does not necessarily change direction
