Measure the acceleration on the micro:bit in the "z" direction #LED #number #math #acceleration #docs
|

|
|
|

|
|
This is the answer key for the [zoomer quiz](/microbit/lessons/zoomer/quiz).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 1. What is 'acceleration'?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Acceleration is amount of force being applied to the BBC micro:bit in one of three specified directions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 2. Consider the following directions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write the line of code to measure the acceleration and then store in it a variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
let accX_ = input.acceleration("x")
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: acceleration does not have be measured in the "x" direction. It can also be in the "y" or "z" direction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 3. Consider the following directions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After storing the acceleration in a variable, write the code to show acceleration on the BBC micro:bit as a number
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
let accX = input.acceleration("x")
|
||
|
|
basic.showNumber(accX_, 150)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: make sure the same variable name ("acc x" in this case) is the same in both lines of code..
