Detailed Solution

L=mv×r

It has a tangential deceleration, so net acceleration changes, but direction of angular velocity and angular momentum remain unchanged. As the velocity changes, magnitude of the angular momentum will change.

It will have tangential as well as centripetal acceleration. So, net acceleration will not be towards the centre.

We can't say anything about the radius of the path , as nothing is mentioned about the centripetal acceleration.
