Description

On the documentation page for Rigidbody3D and Rigidbody2D: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_rigidbody3d.html#class-rigidbody3d-method-apply-force

The documentation for "apply_force()" specifies that "position" is in global coordinates, but does not specify whether the "force" parameter should be in local or global coordinates. Many similar methods in this class's documentation lack that same information, including add_contant_central_force, add_constant_force, apply_central_force, and apply_impulse.
