You can’t place a portal on a moving surface in either game, so neither.

According to a gravitationally accurate simulation a guy did for Youtube, the correct answer is_ … ah, ragebait answers only. Well, mission accomplished, probably >:3

It went through the portal at speed, so it should exit the portal at speed. That’s my take.

Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out. Cube had no speed going in, therefore no speed going out. The portal speed is irrelevant

Assuming the black platform does not fit through the orange portal, and the moving panel with the orange portal stops on impact (which is what appears to be true because on the blue portal side we see the surface of the black panel), then the cube is no longer moving relative to the orange portal and therefore has no momentum. Once the cube is entirely on the blue side of the portal it will be affected by the gravity on that side and slide down as if on a ramp (A).

If we’re only supposed to do ragebait answers, then anyone who passed 3rd grade science would be able to tell you the answer is obviously B If you actually played the game, and paid attention in physics class in highschool, then you would know the answer is clearly A, and everyone who says it is B really needed the simplified explanation from GLaDOS to understand how to play the game.

A In this example, the object wasn’t moving. It has no momentum to continue moving. Instead, the world around it moved. So A

It depends. It looks like the orange portal is being moved by a hydraulic cylinder (aka laminar flow), which means the relative positions and velocities of things moving through the orange portal are conserved, and A is correct. If instead that’s (yuck) an air fired cylinder… Then it’s going to be B. If the movement is handled by a threaded rod, then the box will emerge from the blue portal spinning, and (perhaps contrary to expectations) if the orange portal is moving because of gravity, then the bouyant force of the box progressing through the portal will stop it from falling further, and the box will end up just less than halfway (because of the angle) through the blue portal.

“speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.” So stationary thing goes in, stationary thing comes out.

Ragebait answers only I’m giving so many people Fs on this assignment because you failed to read all the instructions. The correct answer is B due to the graphical conservation of speed lines.
