We have three wired accelerometers and two wireless accelerometers, designed for different uses. These devices can be mounted on objects to study motion. The wired accelerometers have a flexible, 2-meter cable
Accelerometers
Go Direct Acceleration Sensor
Best choice for acceleration, rotation, altitude, and angle data in the classroom or in the field. Go Direct Acceleration Sensor connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® or wired via USB to your device.
- Amusement park rides
- Elevator acceleration
- Tossing an object in the air
- Concussion studies
- Rocket launches
Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor
Best for experiments in the lab or field
3-axis accelerometer and Force sensor which can be used via USB or Bluetooth.
- Friction
- Simple harmonic motion
- Impact in collisions
- Centripetal force
Low-g Accelerometer
Good choice for in-lab studies of 1-dimensional accelerations. This sensor requires connection to an interface from the LabQuest family in order to collect data on your device.
- One-dimensional motion of a car (real or toy)
- Elevator acceleration
3-Axis Accelerometer
Best for complex, three-dimensional accelerations
- Bungee Jumping
- Tossing an object in the air
- Amusement park rides
25 g Accelerometer
Best for large, one dimensional accelerations
- Sky Diving
- Rocket Launch
- Crash Test Dummies
