I've had another look at the original thread here I think I see now how Doc's answer is correct for my method of measuring rates of change of acceleration. I'm comparing two consecutive measurements of acceleration (units = "g"), therefore the answer = change in acceleration over the time...

Try here Can't see it working in 17 days unless you buy one in kit form.

Thanks Integral, can jerk also be expressed as g/s?

Sometime ago you very kindly advised me regarding units for rates of change of acceleration. I still don't fully understand how "a" and "Δa" can have the same units, "g". If acceleration is measured in terms of "g", shouldn't the rate of change of acceleration be measured in terms of...

Thanks for that Doc :smile:

I'm measuring the acceleration of a body in the vertical direction using an accelerometer and datalogger. The raw data is downloaded to a laptop and saved as a text file. The data is presented in two columns, time (measured in units of 0.01s) and acceleration (measured as g). So this means that...

Hi Doc Acceleration measured in terms of gravity. Yes. Absolutely. I can certainly call it "a". Right, I think I see it know :wink: The Y axis is dg, but the graph is dg/t [?] Thanks Doc How do you post the delta triangle?

Hi Doc I already have rate of change of acceleration (in the vertical direction) measured as rate of change of "g" which I can plot against time, I can then show a certain rate of change of acceleration during a unit of time (in this case 0.01s) I've assumed that rate of change of...

I'm plotting rate of change of acceleration against time. Acceleration is measured as "g". Time is plotted on the x axis, rate of change of acceleration is plotted on the y axis. Is "dg" a valid label for the "y" axis? Thanks
