Using a smartphone acceleration sensor to study uniform and uniformly accelerated circular motions

The acceleration sensor of a smartphone is used for the study of the uniform and uniformly accelerated circular motions in two experiments. Data collected from both experiments are used for obtaining the angular velocity and the angular acceleration, respectively. Results obtained with the accelerat...
