Well I took physics last year(sophomore year in high school) and the kinametics section is extremely primitive because it had to be done without calculus. So we mainly just covered linear motion, F=ma stuff.My question is, if you apply a force to a point on a rigid body other than the center of mass, does the linear momentum change according to F=ma still while the angular momentum changes by torque induced by the same force?In other words, does the linear momentum change as if the force was exerted at the center of mass?
