An accelerometer is an electromechanical device that will measure proper

acceleration forces. These forces may be static, like the constant force of gravity pulling
at feet, or they could be dynamic - caused by moving or vibrating the accelerometer.
NEED FOR ACCELEROMETER
Accelerometers have multiple applications in engineering and science. By
measuring the amount of static acceleration due to gravity, we can find out the angle the
device is tilted at with respect to the earth. By sensing the amount of acceleration, users
can analyze how the device is moving. Highly sensitive accelerometers are components
of inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. In inertial navigation acceleration
sensors are used for making distance measurements. Inertial measurements are
frequently required in the tracking of planes, boats, and automobiles over long distances
and long time constants. Accelerometers are used to detect and monitor vibration in
rotating machinery. Accelerometers are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so
that images on screens are always displayed upright. Accelerometers are used to
detect apogee in both professional

and in amateur

rocketry. Accelerometers are used in
drones for flight stabilization. Pairs of accelerometers extended over a region of space
can be used to detect differences (gradients) in the proper accelerations of frames of
references associated with those points.
