So in ideal case, taking same impulse time, the translation will be same regardless of where the pen is hit right?

Thanx for eqns.. It is my job to derive it on my own! But according to first eqn, the linear acceleration does not depend on where the force is applied along the rectangle.. But I cannot understand how? If I place a pen on the flat surface and strike it along the edge, it just rotates and if i...

I have tried google.. It hasn't specifically helped.. :) I understand I acted naive in my questions.. I will ask again.. Let the force 'F' act as shown in attachment at a distance of 'a' from center of mass.. Let the duration of impact be 'T'... I want to know the eqns of translational and...

give some link please.. I am doing 2d physics engine u know.. need to be convincing if not accurate.. please share some links for rigid body videos..

Thanx for reply tiny tim... But I do not understand how the center of mass itself will move if the force is applied on the edge of the rectangular rod... How does the translational motion of body vary along the distance? I know that translational motion will be maximum if force is applied...

Hello physicsForum.. I am trying to make a 2d physics engine for my game all on my own but I am stuck in the very basic problem. My problem is this.. If there is a rectangular body (with negligible depth since i am working on 2d) is present in free space as in attached file and a force of...
