Will there be translation + rotational motion?



If a rod is on a frictionless plane, and a force is applied on one of it's end, will there be both, translation + rotation motion? Also, if only a single force is applied on a body that does not pass through Centre of Mass, will it always produce rotation + translation?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
