A motorcyclist is riding along a mountain trail that runs parallel to a road below. In fact the trail is 6 meters above the road. The motorcyclist then notices a flat bed truck directly below moving at the same speed and decides to drive off the trail, without changing speed. Fortunately, the motorcycle safely lands on the flatbed of the truck. What would the outcome have been if the trail was 12 meters above the road, but all other parameters remain the same?

The complete question reads:

A motorcyclist is riding along a mountain trail that runs parallel to a road below. In fact, the trail is 6 meters above the road. The motorcyclist then notices a flatbed truck directly below moving at the same speed and decides to drive off the trail, without changing speed. Fortunately, the motorcycle safely lands on the flatbed of the truck. What would the outcome have been if the trail was 12 meters above the road, but all other parameters remain the same?

a) The motorcycle would land slightly behind the truck.

b) The motorcycle would land in front of the truck.

c) The motorcycle would land on the flatbed of the truck as before.

d) The motorcycle would land several meters behind the truck

c) The motorcycle would land on the flatbed of the truck as before.

Explanation:

Note that if the trail was 12 meters above the road, but all other parameters remain the same, it simply means that other parameters like the speed of both the motorcyclist and the flatbed truck are the same.

Also, remember we are told that the mountain trail runs parallel to the road below, thus, there is a greater likelihood that the motorcyclist who has a higher height (to his advantage) could land on the flatbed of the truck.
