Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Newton Dynamics vs Bullet Physics for Game Engine?
Someone I know is fond of using the term 'bus factor' when discussing libraries like these, as in "how many people need to get killed by a bus in order for the project to die?" Both Newton and Bullet have a bus factor of 1, meaning 1 particular guy needs to get hit and the lion's share of commit contributions comes to an end, although Bullet bus factor is probably slightly higher than Newton.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Simbody and Newton Dynamics you can also consider the following projects:
Bullet - Bullet Physics SDK: real-time collision detection and multi-physics simulation for VR, games, visual effects, robotics, machine learning etc.
CHRONO - High-performance C++ library for multiphysics and multibody dynamics simulations
PhysX - NVIDIA PhysX SDK
ODE
Box2D - Box2D is a 2D physics engine for games
Chipmunk - A fast and lightweight 2D game physics library.
ofxBox2d - Openframework wrapper for box2d
