Hence, <strong>statement 1 is correct<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li><li>The accelerometers in laptops protect hard drives from damage. If the laptop were to suddenly drop while in use, the accelerometer would detect the sudden free fall and immediately turn off the hard drive to avoid hitting the reading heads into the hard drive platter. Hence, <strong>statement 2 is correct<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li><li>Accelerometers allow the user to understand the surroundings of an item better. For example, smartphones rotate their display between portrait and landscape mode depending on how you tilt the phone.
