Measuring Motion.

- Abstract
The article explores how some types of accelerometers are able to measure the speed of an object in motion. Generally, these instruments sense the motion of a mass moving in response to acceleration and convert it to an electrical signal. The Piezo Film Accelerometer by Measurement Specialties responds to the motion of a proof mass acting to compress a section of film. Model MMA7260Q capacitive accelerometer by Freescale Semiconductor can be used to monitor the tilt angle of a hand-held product.
