Accelerometers
 We have three accelerometers for different uses. These
small devices can be mounted on objects to study motion. All are
individually calibrated.
Low-g Accelerometer
This is the best choice for most experiments. Use it for studying the
one-dimensional motion of a car (real and toy), elevator, pendulum bob, or
amusement park ride.
| Range |
-50 to +50 m/s2 |
| Typical accuracy |
±0.1 m/s2 |
Order Code: VR105480
25-g Accelerometer
This is great for studying one-dimensional collisions or any motion with
larger accelerations.
| Range |
-250 to +250 m/s2 |
| Typical accuracy |
±1 m/s2 |
Order Code: VR105472
3 Axis Accelerometer
This is really three Low-g
Accelerometers mounted at right angles and all placed in a small box. Use it
for studying the complex motion of an amusement park ride, a bungee jumper,
or simply a toss in the air.
| Range |
-50 to +50 m/s2 |
| Typical accuracy |
±0.1 m/s2 |
Order Code: VR105464
