In this scenario we examine the relationship between the sensor called “Accelerometer”, used to measure linear speed variations in the 3 directions of space, and the “Gravimeter”, used to evaluate the 3 components of the G-force.
This experience is designed to let students understand the functioning of two important sensors used to analyze movement, such as the accelerometer and the gravity sensor.
