i was thinking that but it didn't sound right should have gone with my gut

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Law of inertia states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force _________________________________________________________________________ When the truck takes a sharp turn or accelerates abruptly the truck moves but the box tends to maintain its state of inertia and thus is left behind which we see in the form of its falling.
