Let's say a rotational artificial gravity system stopped working for a moment, what would happen to the objects and people that are rendered airborne? Would the centripetal force generated by the system pull them back to the floor, or would it not affect them at all, given that they lost the frame of reference after the system stopped and they started floating around? I watched the swimming pool scene in the movie "Passengers", where the water got nicely sucked back into the pool once the system started working again — wondering if this is in fact what would happen.
