Question

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

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

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

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

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 the opposing force is removed, the net force acting on the object becomes greater in the direction of the motion, resulting in an increase in momentum.
