### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Point Object**: A moving object is considered a point object when its size is negligible compared to the distance it travels. This means that the dimensions of the object do not significantly affect its motion. 2. **Condition for Point Object**: Mathematically, if we denote the size of the object as 'a' and the distance traveled by the object as 's', the condition for considering the object as a point object can be expressed as: \[ a \ll s \] ...
