8. Two ships \(A\) and \(B\), of masses \(m\) and km respectively, are moving towards each other in heavy fog along the same straight line, both with speed \(u\). The ships collide and immediately after the collision they drift away from each other, both their directions of motion having been reversed. The speed of \(A\) after the impact is \(\frac { 1 } { 5 } u\) and the speed of \(B\) after the impact is \(v\).
- Show that \(v = u \left( \frac { 6 } { 5 k } - 1 \right)\).
The coefficient of restitution between \(A\) and \(B\) is \(e\).
- Show that \(v = u \left( 2 e - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right)\).
- Use your answers to parts (a) and (b) to find the rational numbers \(p\) and \(q\) such that \(p \leq k < q\).
