Classical Newtonian Mechanics is not able to describe motion of particle which are either microscopic or move at very high velocity (comparable to velocity of light). That's why Quantum mechanics and Einstein theory of relativity superseded newton's theory.

No problem :)

While I agree with the solution, I think the wording of the answers is a bit vague, especially given that objects can be modelled as "particles"/point masses and can be "worked on".
