Assume there is a rigid body in deep space with mass m$m$ and moment of inertia I$I$. A force that varies with time, F(t)$F(t)$, is applied to the body off-center at a distance r$r$ from its center of mass. How do I calculate the instantaneous acceleration, rotational acceleration, and trajectory of this object, assuming it starts from rest?

Force applied off center on an object

Assume there is a body in deep space with mass m and moment of inertia I. A force that varies with time, F(t), is applied to the body off-center at a distance r from its center of mass. How do I calculate the instantaneous acceleration, rotational acceleration, and trajectory of this object, assuming it starts from rest?
