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. 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. A force acting in the direction opposite 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 of the object’s motion is removed from the object. Two forces of equal magnitude act on the object in opposite directions.

The situation in which the momentum of a moving object would increase is:
A new force acts on the object, opposing the object’s motion.
This is incorrect because a force acting in the opposite direction would decrease the momentum.
The correct answer is:
A force acting in the direction opposite the object’s motion is removed from the object.
Removing this opposing force allows the object to continue to gain momentum in the direction of its motion, increasing its overall momentum.
