Accelerometers are sensors that detect changes in position and movement. They measure the acceleration of an object in three-dimensional space, providing data on changes in velocity and orientation. Accelerometers are commonly used in electronic devices like smartphones and fitness trackers to enable features such as screen rotation and step counting.
If an object changes its position, it is in motion. Motion refers to the change in position of an object with respect to a reference point over time.
Proprioception is the ability of the body to sense its position and movement in space without relying on vision. It allows us to make quick and accurate adjustments to changes in position or movement.
Acceleration affects position by changing the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. When an object accelerates, its position changes at a non-constant rate. Greater acceleration leads to faster changes in position, while deceleration or negative acceleration causes a decrease in speed or a change in direction of movement.
Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving, while changes in an object's position describe its movement from one location to another. The speed of an object determines how quickly it can cover a particular distance, so a higher speed will result in faster changes in the object's position.
An accelerometer is an object that measures acceleration, which can be used to determine motion. It detects changes in speed or direction of an object and provides data that can be used to track its movement.

A PIR Motion sensor detects the minute changes in heat and infrared radiation rather than movement.

Sharks have something called a Lateral Line that is full of nerves that detects movement in the ocean and any changes in density, solubility, etc. in the water. They also have the Ampullae of Lorenzini that does electroreception.
