The Accelerometer measures acceleration in 3 dimensions, X, Y, and Z. These dimensions of acceleration are recorded and the magnitude of their resulting vector is calculated using ``double impactMagnitude = sqrt(x * x + y * y + z * z);`` + +![Magnitude](https://www.intmath.com/vectors/img/235-3D-vector.png) + + `#define DEFAULT_THRESHOLD_MS2 17` determines the magnitude of the resulting vector that will trigger the application to detect a sudden impact. If adjusting the value of `DEFAUTL_THRESHOLD_MS2` keep in mind that gravity implies a motionless magnitude of -9.8m/s^2 As visualized with the red vector here. -![Magnitude](https://www.intmath.com/vectors/img/235-3D-vector.png) - - |
