type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: A three-axis accelerometer, for example, can detect magnitude and direction (in all three axes) of acceleration as a vector quantity.
text: multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero).
