Unity 2D - How do I add the velocity and direction of an object to another object?

Question

So I'm trying to make this pong game that allows the player to move the paddles forward and back. This often causes issues with the ball bounce- sometimes it will just roll on the paddle and lose all its velocity. How do I add the paddles velocity and direction to the ball when it bounces/collides with it?

Velocity contains direction. All you have to do it set the velocity of one object to another.

ball.rb.velocity=paddle.rb.velocity;

where rb is a rigidbody component.

hi did you tried physics material (bounce on the game objects instead of velocity) to make your ball bounce up?
