Me and my friend are looking to do a project for our science research class in high school. My friend said he is allowed to use his Rasperry Pi for a project and I am interested in physics while he is a big computer and technology guy, I'm looking for ideas for projects either using the software to make physics simulations or control something to demonstrate a physics phenomena or anything that connects physics and the raspberry pi.

Thanks so much!
