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.

// The sprite will fall under its weight. After a short time the // sprite will start its upwards travel. This is because // of the force on the sprite.
