Have you ever done a lab at school that requires you to collect distance-time data of a cart sliding down an air track? If you have, you would definitely agree that it is a very tedious task. Setting up the air track at the right angle, recording a video with a stopwatch, writing down the distance the cart travelled at a certain point in time, and repeating this process… That's where Accelab comes in! Using your iPhone's sensors, Accelab can:

• Make sure that your air track is set up with the angle you chose

• Collect the distance-time data of your cart as it travels down the air track

• Create a CSV file with the collected data so it's easy for analysis

Accelab is available for iPhone on iOS 18.0 or later on the App Store. Download now.

In fact, Accelab is my second open-source project and is open for contributions. Check out its GitHub repository.
