The framerate of the physics simulation can be decoupled from the frame rate of the rendering loop. For example, you can aim for a 30fps steady timestep simulation and a vsync-capped rendering. you can then use interpolation methods for quick-and-dirty calculation to smooth the movement to match the rendering timestep.
