Accelerometers have many different applications ranging from industry, entertainment, sports to education. These applications can be, for example, triggering airbag deployments or monitoring of nuclear reactors. Accelerometers can also be used to measure static acceleration (gravity), tilt of an object, dynamic acceleration in an aircraft, shock to an object in a car, orientation or vibration of an object. Cell phones, washing machines or computers nowadays also have accelerometers.
