Accelerometers
We have three wired accelerometers and one wireless accelerometer, designed for different uses. These devices can be mounted on objects to study motion. The wired accelerometers have a flexible, 2-meter cable.
Low-g Accelerometer
Best choice for most acceleration experiments.
- One-dimensional motion of a car (real or toy)
- Elevator acceleration
- Pendulum bob
- Amusement park rides
