Question

if you took a sharp left turn on your lift truck, what effect would this have on the load?

it would cause the load to shift to the right.

it would cause the load to shift to the left.

it would cause the load to shift forward.

it would cause the load to shift backward.

Explanation:

When an object is in motion, it tends to continue moving in a straight - line path (Newton's first law of motion). When the lift truck takes a sharp left turn, the truck changes its direction, but the load has a tendency to keep moving in its original direction. So, relative to the truck, the load will shift to the right.

Answer:

It would cause the load to shift to the right.
