Teach Engineering: Android Acceleration

Curated by ACT

Young scholars prepare for the associated activity in which they investigate acceleration by collecting acceleration vs. time data using the accelerometer of a sliding Android device. Based on the experimental set-up for the activity, students form hypotheses about the acceleration of the device. Different types of acceleration, including average, instantaneous and constant acceleration, are introduced and acceleration is described mathematically and in terms of processes and applications.
