Does a arc have force ? i.e when it earths does it try to push away from it or pull or neither ? If it does how much force does it have and at what rate does it travel ?

Does a arc have force to push something ? Or maybe pull ? Or neither ? If so how much force and how fast does it travel ?

The flow of current by itself does not create a force; however the resulting magnetic field that surrounds the current may interact with adjacent ferous materials or other structures that have their own current flow, resulting in a force.
