(p_1 ^2 /(2m)) =K_1   (p_2 ^2 /(2m))=K_2   ((K_2 −K_1 )/K_1 )×100=100  ⇒  ((p_2 ^2 −p_1 ^2 )/p_1 ^2 )×100=100  ((p_2 /p_1 ))^2 −1=1    ⇒    ((p_2 /p_1 ))^2 =2  % change in momentum is  ((p_2 −p_1 )/p_1 )×100 = ((√2)−1)×100  = 41.4% .  unless the change is differential  change you cannot differentiate   to get the correct answer.

i did it this way so i want to see  whats wrong;    let k=kinetic energy,m=mass  v=velocity,ρ=momentum    k=(1/2)mv^2 ......(1)  ρ=mv  hence;v=ρ/m......(2)    put (2) into (1)    k=(ρ^2 /(2m))  Δk=(ρ/m)Δρ    since Δk=k    Δk=k=(ρ/m)Δρ    (ρ^2 /(2m))=(ρ/m)Δρ    ∴((Δρ)/ρ)=(1/2)    ∴%Δρ=((Δρ)/ρ)×100=50%      whats wrong here???????

K = (p^2 /(2m))    Let K_2  = 2K_1   (K_1 /K_2 ) = ((p_1 ^2 /(2m))/(p_2 ^2 /(2m)))  →  (K_1 /(2K_1 )) = (p_1 ^2 /p_2 ^2 )  →  p_2 ^2  = 2p_1 ^2     p_2  = ((√2))p_1   % increase = ((Δp)/p_1 ) . 100% = 41.4 %
