1. accelerometer

   An accelerometer is a device that is used to measure the acceleration, or the rate of change in velocity, of a moving object. It can also measure changes in gravitational pull, often used to determine an object's orientation or angle relative to the Earth's surface. Accelerometers are commonly used in mobile devices, vehicles, robotics, and systems that require measurement and monitoring of speed and movement.

1. Accelerometer

   An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration. The proper acceleration measured by an accelerometer is not necessarily the coordinate acceleration. Instead, the accelerometer sees the acceleration associated with the phenomenon of weight experienced by any test mass at rest in the frame of reference of the accelerometer device. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the earth will measure an acceleration g= 9.81 m/s² straight upwards, due to its weight. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall or at rest in outer space will measure zero. Another term for the type of acceleration that accelerometers can measure is g-force acceleration. Accelerometers have multiple applications in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are components of inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Accelerometers are used to detect and monitor vibration in rotating machinery. Accelerometers are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. Single- and multi-axis models of accelerometer are available to detect magnitude and direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation, coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium. Micromachined accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video game controllers, to detect the position of the device or provide for game input.

Examples of accelerometer in a Sentence

1. Richard Allen:

   We want to make this a killer app, where you put it on your phone and allow us to use your accelerometer, and we will deliver earthquake early warning.

2. Constantine Tarawneh:

   If you put an accelerometer on a bearing and you’re monitoring the vibration levels, the minute a defect happens in the bearing, the accelerometer will sense an increase in vibration, and that could be, in many cases, up to 100,000 miles before the bearing actually fails.
