# Add Force

### Description

Adds a force to the Rigidbody. Force is applied continuously along the direction of the force vector. Specifying the ForceMode mode allows the type of force to be changed to an Acceleration, Impulse or Velocity Change.

By default the Rigidbody's state is set to awake once a force is applied, unless the force is Vector3.zero.
