Highlights
- An accelerometer actually measures mass-specific force, or commonly called specific force (View Highlight)
- A specific force is simply the force per unit of mass. (View Highlight)
- So, what specific force does an accelerometer measure? It measures the specific force relative to a free-falling body. (View Highlight)
- The basic principle behind the accelerometer measurement model is that of a damped mass spring system. (View Highlight)
- we can also say that gyroscopes measure angular velocity of an object. (View Highlight)
