An accelerometer is used to measure proper acceleration. This is the acceleration felt by people and objects. Such accelerations are measured in terms of G-Force.

What is accelerometer?
A tool to measure acceleration
What is a gravimeter?
A gravimeter is a specialized type of accelerometer designed for measuring the local gravitational field of the Earth. In a most basic conception, a gravimeter is simply a highly developed derivation of a scale used for weighing an object. In this way, gravimeters operate on the same principle as any other accelerometer, by measuring acceleration relative to a static basis, but are designed to be far more sensitive than a typical accelerometer in order to measure the minute changes within the Earth's gravity that can happen to due the planet's shape or local geological features.
Measures the changes in velocity?
A change in velocity is acceleration, so a accelerometer
How can one determine when terminal velocity is reached?
Take an accelerometer with you when you jump, and at the point that it reads, "zero", the terminal velocity has been reached.
What is an Accelerometer?
An accelerometer is an instrument used to measure acceleration.
What vibration sensor is used in accident detection?
accelerometer
Does the Samsung Intercept have an accelerometer?
Yes, it in fact has an accelerometer
How an accelerometer inside Apple iPhone is made?

Are accelerometer and blackbox same?
No. The black box is a recorder, while an accelerometer feeds an instrument.
Can a watch be used as an accelerometer?
No. An accelerometer measures its own acceleration relative to freefall. A watch just tells time. One can extrapolate his or her acceleration relative to freefall using a watch, but the watch itself can't tell you how fast you're accelerating. If you're the one doing the calculation, you're the accelerometer, in a sense.There are watches with accelerometers, but an ordinary watch can't be used that way.
What is the function of the accelerometer feature of the Apple iPod Touch?
An accelerometer measures freefall, which isn't very useful to iPod owners. However, this app can be used to help program games that require tilting or shaking of the device.
How do you turn on the iPod Touch's accelerometer or fix it so that it works again?
You can't. If you are having intermittent or permanent problems with your accelerometer, you need to get your unit serviced or exchanged or live without the accelerometer.
What measures vibration?
An accelerometer measures vibration.Acclerometer and vibrometer are the instrument used to measure the vibration of the any object.Accelerometers
How do iPod touches sense tilt?
With a super accurate sensor called an accelerometer. The accelerometer senses the acceleration of the iPod in different directions, so when you move your iPod up or down the accelerometer the motion into a signal.
What is the device called in an iPod so that you can turn the iPod and the picture also turns?
An accelerometer. This is what's used in a Wiimote.
