A

The block has no velocity

[Anonymous No.4347324]

Portal mechanics aren't fully understood. Hard to say.

[Anonymous No.4347328]

>>4347320
>The block has no velocity
relative to what?

[Anonymous No.4347332]

>>4347328
Relative to itself.

[Anonymous No.4347336]

>>4347332

so if you throw a baseball at 90mph into a portal then it will come out at 0mph and hit the ground?

[Anonymous No.4347340]

Moving platforms voids portals.

mph is not a unit for velocity.
Velocity is measured in m/s.

[Anonymous No.4347346]

B

The companion cube has velocity relative to the portal.

>>4347341
m/s is the standard unit for velocity.
M/h is not, but it is still distance traveled/time consumed

so that means it's a unit describing the velocity of an object.

your statement is like saying that inch is not a length measuring unit just because meter is the standard unit


(i need to stop falling for posts like these just to feel smart)

B IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

AND THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE IT WOULD PRODUCE THE BEST GAMEPLAY MECHANICS, WHICH IS THE GOD OF THE PORTAL WORLD, BEING A VIDEO GAME AND ALL.

[Anonymous No.4347402]

>>4347360
>logical language

You mean a system where nothing matches to each other and is put at random intervals which units then differ from themselves (within the same system) as well as not being compatible with the rest of the world (and beyond, Nasa is metric. I remember when somebody did a HURRR MURKA and crashed a probe into mars for it) ?

No wonder you create portal threads thinking it's science, anything good on the big bang theory? You such a nerd?

>implying a square that big can fit in a circular portal

did you not pass pre-school?

[Anonymous No.4347412]

>>4347402
>mph is not a unit for velocity.
mph !=unit of velocity
Which is false
>Velocity is measured in m/s.
m/s = unit of velocity
Which is true

And imperial is a coherent system, no less so than metric.

Wrong, it has several different base units for the same quantity.

This has been discussed again and again.
In the Portal game it would be A.
In reality, if you consider portals would follow the usual law of physics (besides being fucking portals), it would be B, because regarding relative motions, the portal moving towards the cube at speed V is strictly equivalent to the cube moving towards the portal at speed V.

"Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out."

[Anonymous No.4347651]

This is one of the reasons why portals are destroyed when the object they are placed upon moves.

The box would be smashed since there would be no red portal for it to go through.

[Anonymous No.4347655]

Again?

Play portal 2 before talking about portal physics

[Anonymous No.4347688]

Assuming the portal is a wormhole, there should be a real difference between shooting the cube through a portal (constant spacetime curvature with the object traveling through it, which gives B as in the game) and moving the portal toward the cube (geometry of spacetime changes such that the cube and the wormhole eventually coincide). I think a simple Galilean transform can't be used here, in which case the answer is A.

I haven't played portal 2 though. Any more info in that game?
