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

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

Answer 1

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 you remove a force that opposes the motion, the net force acting on the object becomes greater in the direction of motion, which can lead to an increase in the object's velocity and consequently its momentum.
