Calculates and displays the FFT of acceleration data. The strongest frequency is given as well. This is a great tool to analyze vibrations.

Explore the relation of angular velocity and centrifugal acceleration using the gyroscope and the accelerometer. (For example when putting your phone into a salad spinner)
Measure the inclination of a plane.
Measure the time between two or more acceleration events. This uses the accelerometer to trigger a stopwatch by (small) mechanic shocks.
