Physics engines give games a means of simulating realism in physical terms, and they are a feature in almost all game engines either natively or as a plugin. Unity utilizes the Nvidia PhysX physics engine, a precise modern physics engine that is used in many commercial games in the industry. Having a physics engine means that not only physical reactions, such as weight and gravity are possible, but realistic responses to friction, torque, and mass-based impact, are also possible.
