Accelerometer help

Hey, my programming team (by which I mean my programming team--) wants to use an accelerometer for determining speed of the robot during autonomous mode and to determine if we've crashed, but the problem is I'm not sure how to handle the accelerometer in the code. I know the physics of it: Final Velocity=Initial Velocity+Acceleration*Time I don't know what the accelerometer returns and...that's about it. Could someone enlighten me. Thanks.
