Using Smartphone Pressure Sensors to Measure Vertical Velocities of Elevators, Stairways, and Drones
Peer reviewed
Direct linkMonteiro, Martín; Martí, Arturo C. – Physics Education, 2017
We measure the vertical velocities of elevators, pedestrians climbing stairs, and drones (flying unmanned aerial vehicles), by means of smartphone pressure sensors. The barometric pressure obtained with the smartphone is related to the altitude of the device via the hydrostatic approximation. From the altitude values, vertical velocities are…
