This force will cause the cart to accelerate—in this case, to the left, or the opposite way it was heading, which is why it slows down during impact and even reverses direction. But what is the ...

Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...

Addressing the increasing demand to accurately measure acceleration in smaller navigation systems and other devices, researchers have developed an accelerometer a mere millimeter thick that uses laser ...

Physicists have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions - a feat that many scientists didn't think was possible.

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research), at Osaka University find a simple and elegant way to measure pressure and acceleration using the same device Osaka, Japan ...

Researchers have developed new sensors for measuring acceleration and vibration on trains. The technology could be integrated with artificial intelligence to prevent railway accidents and catastrophic ...

The iPhone 3G, with its accelerometers and GPS chip, has spawned a unique category of programs in the App Store: automobile performance measurement tools. These programs use the iPhone’s GPS chip to ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...
