SA1. Consider two different alpha-particle scattering experiments, one in which the particle is deflected by 45° and another in which it is deflected from the same target by 135°. In the 45° scattering experiment, is the maximum force experienced by the alpha particle greater than, less than, or the same as the maximum force experienced by the alpha particle in the 135° scattering experiment? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
