Question

What is meant by a point object in physics ? ​

Answer 1

Point object is an expression used in kinematics: it is an object whose dimensions are ignored or neglected while considering its motion. A point object refers to a tiny object which is calculated or counted as dot object to simplyfy the calculations. A real object can rotate as it moves.
