Apr 5, 2022 at 8:22 comment added tomtom @JohnRennie. can you please have a look at my updated question with Accelerometer reading from my android phone when its placed on table. I am getting every time new reading , but when I calculate the magnitude of all value ,I do get same value through out . But I did notice that z axis value is quite same through out the time, it value stays around 9.8 and not 1. can you please help me understand that part . should I consider as long as magnitude of all 3 axis value remain same -its static ?

updated with some reading from accelerometer
Apr 4, 2022 at 17:27 comment added John Rennie Does this answer your question? Accelerometer measures 1g along z-axis
Apr 4, 2022 at 15:23 comment added Jon Custer @tomtom - well, you would be accelerating if you were not standing on the ground (and applying a force back at it). Which is where your weight comes from.
Apr 4, 2022 at 14:46 comment added tomtom @JonCuster what does it means by getting 9.8 as acceleration for static object ? I believe acceleration is increase in speed and I cannot correlate why its 9.8

Apr 4, 2022 at 14:05 comment added Kurt G. An accelerometer measures acceleration, not speed. Presumably you mean static is speed zero. This can't be measured with an accelerometer.

Apr 4, 2022 at 13:43 comment added Jon Custer So if you are standing still on the ground you are weightless?
