Body:setLinearDamping

Sets the linear damping of a Body. The linear damping is the rate of decrease of the linear velocity over time. A moving body with no damping and no external forces will continue moving indefinitely, as is the case in space. A moving body with damping will gradually stop moving.

Linear damping can take any value from 0 to infinity. It is recommended to stay between 0 and 1, though. Other values will make the objects look "floaty"(if gravity is enabled).
