answer:I think that it is talking about how applying a pushing force to an object can make it rotate. Here’s an example: You have a ruler, or even a pencil. If you push the ruler in the direct middle (at the 6” mark), it will move straight forward away from you. If you apply the same force to the 1” mark, the ruler will rotate because the force is not applied equally to both sides of the pencil. If you have a particle that is a point, there is no “both sides” of the point to experience an unequal force that will cause it to rotate. Also, it is not possible to have a rotating point. Rotation requires a movement is two dimensions at once. If you were to take a point and rotate it around its center, nothing would happen.
