excel2: Angles with phyphox



To experimentally determine the tilt or inclination angles of an object using our smartphone sensors,
the Phyphox app is a very good tool. By utilizing the built-in accelerometer sensor, we can accurately record the gravity components across the Y-axis (gY) and Z-axis (gZ).

Data Table

MEASURING ANGLES: The identifier for each individual test or measurement taken.

gY: The acceleration value along the Y-axis extracted from the Phyphox app.

gZ: The acceleration value along the Z-axis extracted from the Phyphox app.

gY/gZ: The mathematical ratio between both components.

ARC TANG: The arctangent of the previous ratio (resulting in radians).

ANGLE: The final calculated angle converted into sexagesimal degrees.

REAL ANGLE: The actual physical angle measured with a manual protractor or analog reference tool.

ERROR: The absolute difference between your calculated angle and the real reference angle.

%ERROR: The percentage deviation relative to the real angle.
