물체의 운동을 측정하기 위하여 관성 센서(inertial sensor)에 대한 배경 지식이 없는 사용자가 가속도계(accelerometer)를 사용하고자 할 경우 센서의 이름이 주는 혼동에 의하여 물체의 운동 가속도(acceleration)를 쉽게 얻어낼 수 있으리라 기대하게 된다. 반면, 가속도계가 실제 측정하여 주는 값은 비력 가속도(acceleration due to specific force)에 해당되므로 적절한 처리를 부가하지 않으면 기대한 바와 같이 물체의 운동 가속도를 얻을 수 없다. 가속도계의 측정값으로부터 운동 가속도를 추출하기 위해서는 중력장 가속도 (gravitational acceleration), 중력 가속도 (acceleration due to gravity), 비력 가속도, 그리고 운동 가속도 사이의 관계를 명확하게 구분 이해할 필요가 있다. 본 고에서는 앞선 고들에서 다룬(막대) 벡터, 좌표값, 좌표계, 좌표변환행렬, 그리고 코리올리 효과 등의 개념을 확장하여 다양한 개념의 가속도들을 구분 설명하였다.

지정된 경로에서 6축 센서의 가속도와 각속도를 이용하여 물체의 이동거리를 계산하는 경우 가속도 센서에서 나오는 데이터는 중력을 사용하여 값을 보내주는데, 평평한 상태에서는 중력가속도만 나오므로 영향이 없지만 물체가 움직이면서 기울어지거나 흔들리는 경우 중력가속도와 운동가속도가 더해지고 이에 따라 이동거리 계산에 오차가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 가속도와 각속도만으로 보정이 힘들다고 판단하여 적외선 센서를 사용하여 이동거리를 산출하는 방법을 제안하고 시스템을 개발한다. 제안한 시스템은 지정된 경로를 따라 이동할 때 적외선 센서를 이용하여 궤도의 구분선을 인식하여 기존 6축 센서로 계산된 이동거리를 보정한다.

A newly developed fall recognition algorithm using gravity weighted 3-axis accelerometer data as the input of HMM (Hidden Markov Model) is introduced. Five types of fall feature parameters including the sum vector magnitude(SVM) and a newly-defined gravity-weighted sum vector magnitude(GSVM) are applied to a HMM to evaluate the accuracy of fall recognition. A GSVM parameter shows the best accuracy of falls which is 100% of sensitivity and 97.96% of specificity, and comparing with SVM, the results archive more improved recognition rate, 5.2% of sensitivity and 4.5% of specificity. GSVM shows higher recognition rate than SVM due to expressing falls characteristics well, whereas SVM expresses the only momentum.

Physical experiment through MBL has been used in many schools for a long time since students can check the experiment results immediately and conduct the experiment easily. However, conducting the experiment, not knowing the principle of the device or simply concentrating on the derived data has been raised as the problem of MBL experiment. To supplement this problem, this study measured the acceleration of gravity with the picket fence method, which is often used in MBL experiment, utilizing Arduino, calculated the error rate through a comparison to the actual acceleration of gravity and discussed the educational application of the experiment to measure it. As a result of the experiment, the error rate between the acceleration of gravity calculated by the experiment and the actual acceleration of gravity was about 1%, so it turned out that relatively accurate measurements were possible. Also, the sample mean of the experimental value was included in the confidence interval of 95%, so it could be concluded that it was a significant experiment. In addition, this study showed the possibility of the educational application of the experiment to measure it through the following: It can supplement the structural disadvantages of MBL; it can consider the interaction between Physics and Math; it is possible to converge with information course in STEAM education; and it is inexpensive to be equipped with the equipment. Hopefully, the physical experiment utilizing Arduino will further be revitalized in science gifted education based on this study.

It has been hypothesized that the effectiveness of the popular mini-trampoline as a conditioning device is due to the increased gravitational forces which are imparted to every cell in the body during its use. This study evaluated a means of determining the acceleration forces on a subject using a minitrampoline. By cinematic evaluation, a plot of the changes in distance over time was obtained. Using the formulas developed at the Arizona State University Crash Survival Investigators' School, the maximum acceleration forces were determined to be approximately $3.2+G_z$.

고양이가 32층아파트에서 떨어졌는데도 큰 부상없이 살았다고 하는데 왜 그럴까. 물체가 떨어질 때는 떨어지는 속도가 가속되는데 중력은 일정한데도 저항력이 커지므로 언젠가는 중력과 공기의 저항력이 맞비기게 되어 물체는 더 가속되지 않고 일정한 최종속도를 유지한다. 32층 아파트에서 떨어진 고양이의 최종 속도는 초속 18m정도가 되므로 고양이는 살 수 있는데 이러한 물리학의 원리를 고양이는 알고 있을까.

In this paper, we propose Gravity Removal and Vector Rotation algorithm for counting steps of wearable device, and we evaluated the proposed GRVR algorithm with Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEMS) 3-axis accelerometer equipped in low-power wearable device while the device is mounted on various positions of a walking or running person. By applying low-pass filter, the gravity elements are canceled from acceleration on each axis of yaw, pitch and roll. In addition to DC-bias removal and the low-pass filtering, the proposed GRVR calculates acceleration only on the yaw-axis while a person is walking or running thus we count the step even if the wearable device's axis are rotated during walking or running. The experimental result shows 99.4% accuracies for the cases where the wearable device is mounted in the middle and on the right of the belt, and 91.1% accuracy which is more accurate than 83% of commercial 3-axis pedometer when worn on wrist for the case of axis-rotation.

Cryogenic propellant rockets utilize a natural circulation loop of cryogenic fluid to cool the engine inlet temperature before launch. The geometric information about the circulation system, such as length and diameter of the pipes and the heat input to the system, defines the mass flow rate of the natural circulation loop. We performed experiments to verify the natural circulation mass flow rate and compared the results with the analytical results. The comparison of the mass flow rate between experiments and numerical simulations showed a 12% offset. We also included a prediction of the natural circulation flow rate in the low-gravity section and in the acceleration section in the upper stage of the launch vehicle. The oxygen tank should have 100 kPa(a) of pressure in the acceleration section to maintain a high flow rate for the natural circulation loop. In the low-gravity section, there should be an optimal tank pressure that leads to the maximum natural circulation flow rate.

NASA/DLR Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission, which consists of two co-orbiting low altitude satellites, is to measure the Earth gravity field with unprecedented accuracy. Its key instruments include inter-satellite ranging systems and three-axis accelerometers. For the preliminary design and requirements analysis, extensive instrument simulation models are developed. These modeling techniques and orbit-gravity field estimation techniques are described.
