Accelerometer
A
transducer which measures acceleration or
gravitational forces capable of imparting
acceleration.
An accelerometer usually uses a concentrated mass (seismic
mass) which resists movement because of its inertia. The displacement
of the seismic mass relative to its supporting frame or container
is used as a measure of acceleration.
