Im asking you this because i have this objects "falling" but the problem is that after "bouncing" a little (around 3 or 4 times) it just stops moving

You are actually having "problems" with the gravity of the Physics World. As soon as you decrease it, or just set it to 0, your objects will bounce around unhindered by gravity.
self.physicsWorld.gravity = CGVectorMake(0, 0);
However, you are still going to have objects slowing down with each contact they make with other objects because of friction, linear damping and restitution.
