Are rocket motors allowed?

  That would be detectable as continuous acceleration rather than large initial acceleration followed by none for the duration of the throw.

    More accurately: initial upward acceleration while under impulse, immediately followed by 9.8 m/s^2 downward acceleration the instant that it leaves your hand.

      True, but the phone will detect that as 0 acceleration because it's in free fall. Same if you were to throw it hard enough to launch it into orbit.

        Oh, yes of course -- thank you.
