Added link and gave the proper attribution. The quoted text (which is incorrect) is not from Wikipedia.

Proper acceleration ... is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero." | |

| Aug 28, 2020 at 15:21 | comment | added | Bob D | An accelerometer device itself does not have to be accelerating. It detects a force that can cause acceleration (static acceleration) or by detecting the amount of dynamic acceleration you can analyze the way the device is moving. The following link is titled a beginners guide to accelerometers. dimensionengineering.com/info/accelerometers Hope it helps. | |
