Best answer

Let k1 be the initial kinetic energy,k2 be the final kinetic energy.

let p1 be intial momentum & p2 be final momentum.

From question we have,

k2=k1+100%k1

k2=k1+k1=2k1

1\2(mV2)2=2(1\2mV12)

V2=√2V1

on mutiplying by mass m,

mV2=√2mV1

p2=√2p1.         now,

Δp=p2-p1            

=>p1(√2-1)

%age of change in momentum=100(Δp\p1)

= 100(√2 - 1) %

=(1.414-1)100

=41.4%
