← ScienceWhich consequence results when an ultracentrifuge rotor exceeds design limits?
A)Harmonic resonance and system failure✓
B)Adiabatic expansion cools the rotor
C)Increased kinetic energy heats samples
D)Decreased friction reduces energy dissipation
💡 Explanation
Harmonic resonance can lead to catastrophic failure because amplified vibrations transfer energy rapidly leading to structural disintegration, therefore harmonic resonance will always pose a danger, rather than beneficial adiabatic effects arising under controlled expansions.
