Is there an example anywhere of how I might use this to apply physics to DOM element by chance?

I'm guessing I would need to create a simulation and then write a custom renderer that applied resulting values to the DOM elements I'm wanting to apply physics to. But got stuck.

If I knew how to simulate a box of known dimensions and apply gravity to it I feel like I could figure out the rest of it.

That's exactly the right approach, although there are many ways you could apply physics to the DOM. You might build something very realistic, or you might just attach a particle with mass to an element to give it a sense of weight, motion, elasticity, etc without manual animation.

I would recommend starting simple and connecting your element to just a single particle. I'd also love to know more about your use case because rendering to DOM is a target goal coming up.
