What happens if an object is rotated beyond its rotational speed limit? Scientifically, every object has a safe rotational speed limit, depending on its shape, size, and material strength. When an object rotates, the outer part experiences centrifugal force, which is the force that pulls it away from the center of rotation. The higher the speed, the greater the force. If the centrifugal force exceeds the strength of the material structure, the object will deform, crack and break completely. In extreme cases, the accumulated energy can cause a small explosion, as if the object is disintegrating from within.
