How would you decide how fast and in which direction (Counter-Clockwise or Clockwise) would an object spin based on it's x accel. and y accel.?

Please do not post irrelevant responses, thanks.

Am I understanding this right, you want to accelerate a 2D object, but the force is applied not at its centre of mass (therefore some rotation will be caused)?

It's very-much physics related so if you wanted to understand it, you need to know the relationship between acceleration, angular acceleration, force, and torque.

I happen to have made up something which does do this, which looks like this:

NOTE: The custom blocks are made purple to improve readability.

It's not that big, but what each part is doing might be a bit tricky to understand.

Basically, what you need to do is this:

[An object's centre of mass] is located at [the red dot]. When a force F is applied to the particle, only the perpendicular component F⊥ produces a torque. This torque τ = r × F has magnitude τ = |r| |F⊥| = |r| |F| sin θ and is directed outward from the page.

To get force, you need to use F=ma, where F is force (N), m is mass (kg), and a is acceleration (ms^2).

Here are the torque formulas too, you'll need it:

Is it because my math sucks, because I haven't learned it yet, or what that I don't understand?????? But thanks anyway!
