Summary: | The classical relativistic equations of motion of a pole particle subjected to scalar fields are investigated. It can be shown that in the case of a free particle the equations of motion admit a rigorous solution which corresponds to the uniform rectilinear motion. The probable existence of the runaway solutions is mentioned. It is shown that in a special case the particle can move uniformly along a straight line even under the action of a constant external field. The variation of the rest mass is studied on the basis of this example and it is pointed out that the proper field of the particle gives no contribution to the rest mass. An analog of Eliezer's integral theorem is derived for a particle moving in a central scalar field. Finally it is shown in a certain approximation that the particle cannot perform a uniform circular motion under the action of the force derived from the Yukawa potential. |
