Kiirendusmõõtjatest
Kiirendusmõõtjatest is an Estonian term that translates to accelerometer, a sensor used to measure acceleration forces. These devices detect changes in velocity over time and are widely employed in many fields such as automotive technology, mobile devices, aerospace, construction, and medical equipment. The basic principle underlying an accelerometer is the measurement of the displacement of a mass or the strain of a sensor element when an external force is applied.
There are several major types of accelerometers. Mechanical or piezoelectric accelerometers use a proof mass suspended
Historical development began in the early twentieth century, with early mechanical devices by Francis Herbert Levene
In everyday life, kiirendusmõõtjatest devices are found in smartphones for screen rotation and gaming, in cars
