In which situation would the momentum of a moving object increase? (1 point)
Responses

A new force acts on the object, opposing the object's motion.

Two forces of equal magnitude act on the object in opposite directions.

A force acting in the direction of the object's motion is removed from the object.

A force acting in the direction opposite the object's motion is removed from the object.

Answer 1

The situation in which the momentum of a moving object would increase is:

**A force acting in the direction opposite the object's motion is removed from the object.**

When a force that opposes the motion is removed, the net force acting on the object will become greater in the direction of its motion, leading to an increase in its velocity and, consequently, an increase in momentum.
