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. 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.

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 that opposing force is removed, the object can continue to gain speed in the direction of its motion, thus increasing its momentum.
