Physics experiments using simultaneously more than one smartphone sensors

Abstract

In the last years, numerous Physics experiments using smartphone sensors have been reported in the literature. In this presentation we focus on a less-explored feature of the smartphones: the possibility of using (measure and register data) simultaneously with more than one sensor. To illustrate, in the field of mechanics simultaneous use of the accelerometer and gyroscope (angular velocity sensor) or in optics experiments synchronous use of the ambient light and orientation sensors have been proposed. Indeed, this is a characteristic that simplifies experimental setups allowing to see through the physics concepts and, last but not least, reducing the costs.
