Apply force from the object axis

Question

Hi everyone, I'd like to know if there is any possible way of adding forces to a sphere from its own axis, I mean, when I apply the force it applies to the "global axis" and i want it to the objects axis.Here is part of my script, where I add the force to the ball:

 var ballVelocity=100;
 var dir : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
         dir.x = Input.acceleration.x;
         dir.z = Input.acceleration.y;
         if (dir.sqrMagnitude > 1){
             dir.Normalize();
             dir *= Time.deltaTime;
             rigidbody.AddForce(dir * ballVelocity);
         }
