When you mention linking to physics are you talking about Parametric equations?

i.e something like, Distance, Velocity and Acceleration with respect to Time.

Velocity is rate of change of Distance in respect to time (ds/dt) Acceleration is rate of change of velocity in respect to time (dv/dt)

You can derive the equations of motion v^2 = u^2 + 2as etc.

Things like the Bernoulli equation from Fluid Dynamics and a lot of other engineering principles can be derived this way.
