How does an external force effect an object

Meine Frage:
I have a 2D object which can move freely around with no drag or gravity acting on it. If an external force is now acting on it for just one frame, how can I calculate the angular and the linear acceleration of that object?

Meine Ideen:
I think a part of the solution is to first calculate the angular velocity (angular velocity = radius between force and center of mass * force * sin of the angle between force and radius / inertia) and then subtracting the energy of the angular velocity by the energy of the force to than calculate the linear velocity of the levtover energy.
