The 3-Axis Accelerometer consists of three –5 to +5 g accelerometers mounted in one small block. Using the appropriate data collection hardware and software, you can graph any of these components, or calculate the magnitude of the net acceleration. The 3-Axis Accelerometer can be used for a wide variety of experiments and demonstrations, both inside the lab and outside.
3-Axis Accelerometer
Acceleration of a vehicle during a 3-mile drive, showing accelerations in the X direction (forward and back), Y direction (left and right) and Z direction (up and down)
