A __physics engine__ is a computer program that simulates physics models, using variables such as mass, velocity, friction, and wind resistance. It can simulate and predict effects under different conditions that would approximate what happens in real life or in a fantasy world.

Also it's possible to use a physics engine for collision detection.
