Class, you may not be aware but there is an accelerometer in your phone. It is used to detect movement.

This is what allows a


your phone to track steps, or play games by simply moving your phone. Apps are available to give you access to the accelerom
(Androsensor or Physics Toolbox are two).

The data below is from a phone that was raised, then lowered over the course of about 2 seconds. Your task is to use the raw
below to find approximate how high the phone was lifted from its original position in the two seconds. Answer: The phon
moved approximately -0.012 m
