An accelerometer measures a change in velocity. What is a change in velocity called?

Acceleration

Explanation:

The rate of change of velocity is acceleration. Like velocity, acceleration is a vector and has both magnitude and direction. For example, a car in straight-line motion is said to have forward (positive) acceleration if it is speeding up and rearward (negative) acceleration if it is slowing down.
