Prerequisites

Using Unity 3.4.

In Physics Manager:

1. Set "min penetration for penalty" to 0.
2. Set "Bounce Threshold" to 0.

Rigidbodies of spheres with equal mass.

Scenario 1: Sphere falling on plane

Assign physical material with bounciness = 0, combine = average to sphere and plane. Everything works - the sphere falls and stops.

Scenario 2: Two colliding spheres with bounciness = 0

Assign physical material with friction = 0, bounciness = 0, combine = average to spheres and plane(no friction, no bounciness - just sliding without energy loss). Apply the force impulse to the first sphere - it moves with the velocity = 1. The spheres collide. The first sphere now pushes the second. Velocities of both spheres now equal to 0.5.

Scenario 3: Two colliding spheres with bounciness = 1

Set the bounciness to 1 for both spheres. Start the simulation and apply force impulse to first sphere - the first sphere moves with the velocity = 1. After collision the first sphere stops and the second sphere starts to move with the velocity = 1.

Question

How physical material's bounciness affects the collision between spheres with rigidbodies(based on scenarios 2,3)?
