# PhysicsBody.BodyType

> A body is one of these three body types, Dynamic, Kinematic or Static, each of which determines how the body behaves in the simulation.

| [Dynamic](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityengine/lowlevelphysics2d/physicsbody/bodytype/dynamic.md)     | A dynamic body has positive mass, velocity determined by forces and is moved by solver. |
| [Kinematic](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityengine/lowlevelphysics2d/physicsbody/bodytype/kinematic.md) | A kinematic body has zero mass, velocity set by user and is moved by solver             |
| [Static](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityengine/lowlevelphysics2d/physicsbody/bodytype/static.md)       | A static body has zero mass, zero velocity and may be manually moved.                   |
