Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun+noun composition: 'jiggle' (light, rapid movement) + 'physics' (laws or simulation of motion), so its meaning — the physics governing jiggling motion or a simulation of such motion — is directly inferable. Though used as gaming/animation jargon, the sense follows normal composition patterns and a B1 learner who knows both words can reasonably deduce the intended meaning.
Etymology
The term jiggle physics may come from the simple image of jiggle, meaning soft parts or clothing moving and bouncing, and physics, meaning the rules that make things move in a game. That's why it means the way games and animations make soft body parts or objects move and bounce.
