   Merv Koehlinger commented that in the problem of an impulse delivered
perpendicular to one end of a rod, rotation is caused by frction between
the rod and whatever it is lying on.  The rod will rotate even floating
in space, because the impulse produces a torque about the center of mass.
The rod will also acquire a translational velocity in the direction of
the impulse.
