Select one of them and take a look at it in the Inspector window. Right now, we are only concerned with the first three values. The others are used for more complex situations.
- Dynamic Friction: This property is the amount of friction used when the object is moving. A value of zero is no friction, such as ice, and a value of one is a lot of friction, such as rubber.
- Static Friction: This property functions the same as Dynamic Friction, the difference being that it is used when the object is not moving.
- Bounciness: This property is how much of an object's energy is reflected when it hits something or is hit by something...
