← ScienceWhich consequence results when gravitational and inertial effects equilibrate in a centrifuge?
A)Simulated gravity equals true gravity✓
B)Coriolis forces completely disappear
C)Equivalent potential energy drops by half
D)Centripetal fictitious forces become negligible
💡 Explanation
When gravitational and inertial effects are equal due to the equivalence principle and centrifugal force, simulated gravity is equal to that of true gravity, because the experienced acceleration matches gravitational acceleration. Therefore, option A is correct rather than options B, C and D, which do not follow from inertial equivalence.
