Accelerometers

We have three accelerometers with different uses. These small devices can be mounted on moving objects. They have flexible 2-meter cables.

Low-g Accelerometer

This is the best choice for most experiments. Use it for studying the one-dimensional motion of a car (real and toy), elevator, pendulum bob, or amusement park ride.


25-g Accelerometer

This is great for studying one-dimensional collisions or any motion with larger accelerations.


3-Axis Accelerometer

This is really three low-g accelerometers mounted at right angles and all placed in a small box. Use it for studying the complex motion of an amusement park ride, a bungee jumper, or simply a toss in the air. With most of our data collection programs, you can graph the magnitude of the total acceleration vector.
