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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

When a force opposing the motion is removed, there is less resistance to the object's forward motion, allowing its momentum to increase.
