Product Summary
This one acceleration sensor does it all! Measure acceleration in all three imensions, as well as changes in altitude. Measure acceleration data up to 500 Hz. Dynamic variable over-sampling automatically reduces the measurement noise at slower sampling rates.
Features
- Accelerations can be measured in g or m/s2
- Five simultaneous measurements: Accelerations in x, y and z axes, resultant acceleration, and altitude
Applications
- Attach to a dynamics cart for the study of Newton’s Laws.
- Investigate centripetal acceleration on a rotating platform
- Sports physics
- Roller coaster amusement park physics
