Accelerometer

Definition

A device that measures acceleration, the rate at which something speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

Etymology

From accelero- (from Latin accelerare) + -meter (from Greek metron, 'measure'). The term was coined in the early 20th century as technologies needed precise acceleration measurements.

Kelly Says

Your smartphone contains multiple accelerometers—they detect how fast the phone is speeding up, which is how it knows whether you're shaking it, tilting it, or falling, making possible everything from step-counting to auto-rotating screens!
