# llGetPhysicsMaterial

*LSL function*

```lsl
list list llGetPhysicsMaterial();
```

- Returns: `list`
- Energy: 10

Used to get the physical characteristics of an object.

Returns a [list](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/list) in the form `[ float gravity_multiplier, float restitution, float friction, float density ]`

- float — gravity_multiplier — range \[-1.0, +28.0\], default: 1.0
- float — restitution — range \[0.0, 1.0\], default: \[0.3, 0.9\]
- float — friction — range \[0.0, 255.0\], default: \[0.2, 0.9\]
- float — density — range \[1.0, 22587.0\] [kg](/functions/llGetMassMKS/)/m^3, default: 1000.0
