How an Accelerometer Works. Accelerometers are electromechanical devices that sense either static or dynamic forces of acceleration. Static forces include gravity, while dynamic forces can include vibrations and movement. Accelerometers can measure acceleration on one, two, or three axes.
An accelerometer doesn't measure acceleration in the sense that most people think about it (in respect to earths reference frame). I edited the acceleration to read proper acceleration hopefully this will lead to less confusion.
