The momentum of a moving object will increase in the following situations:
1. If the object's mass increases and its velocity remains constant, the momentum will increase. This can be demonstrated by the equation for momentum: momentum = mass × velocity.
2. If the object's velocity increases and its mass remains constant, the momentum will increase. This is because momentum is directly proportional to the velocity of an object.
3. If both the mass and velocity of the object increase, the momentum will increase even more significantly.
In these situations, an object gains momentum as either its mass or velocity (or both) increases.
