The original problem has never happened in the game. The closest equivalent is the moon portal which showed B by way of Chell's velocity changing to match the moon's as she goes through the portal.
no because the platform is the one in motion, not the cube.
the one with the momentum is the one that keeps its momentum.
a cube is not going to shoot out if it's not the one moving.
so what you're saying is the cube will shoot off at 67000mph if the portals aren't aligned on the same axis due to the earth going around the sun at that speed?
You would fall down and not be pushed into acid. I know of the referential velocity answer but the earth itself is our reference point. When a car drives past my house, there is no question whether or not I am moving or the car is, obviously the car is moving and I am stationary in reference to the earth.
It's been thoroughly established by us stating over and over that portals do not, I repeat do not change velocities of objects when they pass through portals.
So that cube, falling downwards at terminal velocity when going through the portal, will continue falling downwards at terminal velocity when it pops out at the other end with its velocity unchanged. This means it's ends up falling directly down from where it pops out, right in front of the blue portal.
Portals donot break the laws of physics. We just don't have the technology to create them or use them, and they don't occur naturally outside of black holes as far as we know.
B, because the portal has no effect on the cube except to change the angle, so it retains its velocity from gravity. For it to suddenly stop it would have to have an opposite force slowing it down.
A
moron-kun…
Obviously B, I mean you can literally do this in the fricking game lol
So you admit that it's also B when it's the other way around?
when it's the other way around it's A because that's what happens in the game

you can make it happen in game with custom levels and A happens

Brianlet. It makes no difference. Frames of reference.

the other way around the cube has no momentum.
based moron
game would crash because there's 2 blue portals
C: The cube sits awkwardly inside the portal because gravitational pull (falling) is not the same as mechanical acceleration (being thrown).
Well?
Plops out of blue portal, Achads win again, it's that easy baby

It's A.

it would start falling down but it has inertia, it would not immediately fall straight down.
portals as seen here cannot exist so the answer is neither because they break the laws of physics.

>we just don't have the tech for it!
you cannot make a pathway through one point in space too the other
closest you can get is a wormhole
