Table 4.

How accelerometers and gyroscopes work in computing desired sport physical attributes.

Sensor Acceleration (m/s2) Velocity (m/s) Distance (m) Angular Velocity (rad/s) Angular Acceleration (rad/s2) Relative Angle (rad) Absolute Angle (rad) Force (N) Moment (Nm)
Accelerometer Measured Derived Derived (2x) - - - - Mass derived
Gyroscope - - - Measured Derived Difference calculated Integrated - Inertia derived
