The Main Idea
The point particle method of measuring changes in energy simplifies the system of interest down to a single point, or focuses on its center of mass. Therefore, the only energy changing in the system is translational kinetic energy. Translational kinetic energy is the energy that comes from an object moving from one location to another. This can then be used in the extended system of the object, which includes all energy transfers.
A Mathematical Model
Translational kinetic energy is equal to
