An accelerometer is a device that measures acceleration - how fast something is speeding up or slowing down. If you're on your bike and stationary, and then you pedal fast until you're moving at 10kph, you've accelerated. Your speed has increased so you had a positive acceleration. If you then pedal normally so you stay at the same speed, your acceleration is zero. Then, when you apply th…
