The momentum of a moving object would increase in the situation where **a force acting in the direction opposite the object's motion is removed from the object**.
When the opposing force is removed, the object can continue to accelerate in its direction of motion, thereby increasing its velocity and, consequently, its momentum (since momentum is the product of mass and velocity).
When the opposing force is removed, the object can continue to accelerate in its direction of motion, thereby increasing its velocity and, consequently, its momentum (since momentum is the product of mass and velocity).
