The systems that you will consider will be approximated by a single object, **__the point particle__**. The point particle is an object that has no size of its own, but carries the mass of the object it is meant to represent. This point particle experiences the same force that the real object experiences, | The systems that you will consider will be approximated by a single object, **__the point particle__**.
