An object can be treating as a particle if all the parts of the object will move in the same way. As a result, it does not matter where the environment acts on the object; our main concern is with the net effect of all of the interactions with the environment. The objects listed in Table 3-1, apple, car, compass needle and helium balloon might be considered as a particle because the given bodies whose internal structures or motions can be ignored and whose parts all move in exactly the same way. For those that behave like particles, you cannot describe a type of motion in which they could not be considered as particles.
