# Add Force At Position 2D

Apply a force at a given position in space.

The [AddForce](https://renownedgames.gitbook.io/ai-tree/nodes/tasks/rigidbody2d/add-force-2d) function applies a force that acts straight through the rigidbody's centre of mass and so produces only positional movement and no rotation. *AddForceAtPosition* can apply the force at any position in world space and will typically also apply a *torque* to the object which will set it rotating. Note that for the purposes of this function, the rigidbody is just a coordinate space of infinite size, so there is no reason why the force needs to be applied within the confines of the object's graphic or colliders.

{% 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.
{% endhint %}
