Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a single isolated particle can possess potential energy, we need to analyze the concept of potential energy in relation to forces and systems of particles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Potential Energy**: Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position relative to other objects. It is often associated with the gravitational force, elastic force, or electric force acting between two or more objects. 2. **Isolated Particle**: ...
