I know exactly what you're looking for and I remembering bookmarking 2 or 3 relevant sites, but I have such a huge set of bookmarks spread over too many machines, that I'm having trouble finding them :-(

But if this is the sort of thing you're looking for, I'll spend a few more minutes looking them out for you:  http://www.algodoo.com/wiki/Phun

I believe there are also some commercial physics games that are customizable so you can build your own problems in their frameworks.  I think one of them is web-based.
