An accelerometer is an electromechanical device that will measure acceleration forces. These forces may be static, like the constant force of gravity pulling at your feet, or dynamic - caused by moving or vibrating the accelerometer.

The Accelerometer Sensor is also able to detect the magnitude and direction of acceleration.

CART ACCESSORIES INCLUDED

Supplied with all you need to attach the sensor to the Data Harvest Dynamics cart, making it ideal for measuring forces and collisions

Data Harvest Accelerometer (High g 2-axis)

FORCES IN COLLISIONS

Suitable for large accelerations such as collisions and impact investigations between 2 carts or different surfaces. The Accelerometer sensor can also record acceleration along a single axis to measure resultant force

Acceleration of a Dynamics cart on a track
Impulse (force change in collisions)
Collisions between carts or a cart and a surface
Impact force on landing e.g. athlete landing on a crash mat after a jump
Forces when ball is kicked or thrown or struck with a racquet
Explanation of opposing forces e.g. resistive forces countering force of mass on a surface
