An accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration forces acting on an object. In practical terms, it detects changes in velocity over time along one or more axes. Most accelerometers report proper acceleration, including the effect of gravity, and provide signals proportional to acceleration in units such as meters per second squared (m/s^2) or g, the standard gravity.
