ok so i think I've found this: ω = I-1Lp where I-1 is the inverse of the inertia tensor. Lp is the angular momentum of the point the force is exerted on. Lp = s x Mv. where s is the position vector of the point relative to the center of mass. M is mass of the object and v is the...

Hello, I'm trying to prove a simulation of mine is working correctly. the simulation has a cube of sides 1, mass 1 and c.o.m. position at (0,0,0.5) ie sitting on the xy plane. i have a force along the x-axis of 10. Is there anyway given those two, that i can work out the resulting ω and v of...
