In this video, I attempt to answer the questions: (1) what are Physics Engines? and (2) why would you want to use them? I discuss some common physics engines and their various pros/cons -- box2d, toxiclibs, matter.js.

Part 2 of this video (https://youtu.be/kRdw-Cm8BZ4) is a Q&A on the subject viewer-submitted questions.
