Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 1, Problem 5EQ
Explanation of Solution
Accelerometer:
- The hardware component that is used to observe the physical tilt in a device is called as accelerometer.
- Additionally, it helps to find the acceleration of the device.
- When an image is rotated on the screen of a device, the
operating system helps in reading the image by taking the help of accelerometer that is present in the device. - Therefore, it helps the users in changing the orientation, while browsing the web or viewing an image...
