# Add Force 2D

Apply a force to the rigidbody.

The force is specified as two separate components in the X and Y directions (there is no Z direction in 2D physics). The object will be accelerated by the force according to the law *force = mass x acceleration* - the larger the mass, the greater the force required to accelerate to a given speed.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don’t specify a ForceMode2D the default will be used. The default in this case is ForceMode2D Force which adds force over time, using mass.
