The two wires carry current i1 and i2,
respectively, with positive current to the right. The charge q is
positive and has velocity v to the right.
True False If i1 is greater than
i2, then the force on q is north.
True False If v = 0, then the force on q is zero.
True False If i2 = - i1 then the
force on q equals zero.
True False If i2 = 0 and i1 is
greater than zero, then the force on q points into the page.
True False If i1 = 0 and i2 is
greater than zero then the force on q is south.
True False If i2 = 0 and i1 is
greater than zero, then the magnetic field near charge q points out
of the page.
True False If i1 = i2, then the
wires are attracted to each other.

On a Saturday morning, pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles carrying garbage to the town dump form a nearly steady procession on a country road, all traveling at21.8 m/s. From one direction, two trucks arrive at the dump every two minutes. A bicyclist is also traveling toward the dump, at 4.12 m/s.

(b) A hill does not slow down the trucks, but makes the
out-of-shape cyclist's speed drop to 1.56 m/s. How often do noisy,
smelly, inefficient, garbage-dipping, roadhogging trucks whiz past
him now?

Pardon me for my stubborn classical/semiclassical brain. But I bet I am not the only one finding such description confusing.
If EM force is caused by the exchange of photons, does that mean only when there are photons exchanged shall there be a force? To my knowledge, once charged particles are placed, the electromagnetic force is always there, uninterruptedly. According to such logic, there has to be a stream of infinite photons to build EM force, and there has to be no interval between one "exchange event" to another. A free light source from an EM field? The scenario is really hard to imagine.
For nuclei the scenario becomes even odder. The strong interaction between protons is caused by the exchange of massive pions. It sounds like the protons toss a stream of balls to one another to build an attractive force - and the balls should come from nothing.
Please correct me if I am wrong: the excitations of photons and pions all come from nothing. So there should be EM force and strong force everywhere, no matter what type of particles out there. Say, even electrical neutral, dipole-free particles can build EM force in-between. And I find no reason such exchanges of particles cannot happen in vacuum.
Hope there will be some decent firmware to refresh my classical brain with newer field language codes.

A block of mass m1 = 2.9 kg initially moving to the right with a speed of 4.3 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal track collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 5 kg initially moving to the left with a speed of 2.8 m/s as shown in figure (a). The spring constant is 572 N/m.
