Which one?
The rocket is flying by
or
the rocket explodes on the back of the portal wall which is magically flying in the air
>>321504092
A
I like his hat and I want to take it for myself.
>>321504092
>the rocket explodes on the back of the portal wall which is magically flying in the air
it's fixed to the front of the rocket
>>321504173
The orange portal is placed on a tile attached to the nose cone of the rocket.
>>321504092
have you even played portal 2?
>>321504092
B.
Why would air not pass through the portal? There's no barrier.
Well we know air travels through portals and so do pressure differences because of the end of Portal 2 with the moon portal.
So B.
Whata moronic thread? Do you even play videogames?
>>321504092
My intuition tells me B but that seems to suggest that the cube will fly out in the other 'problem'.
>>321504092
A and B mixed. the continuous push of air through the portal would create a high pressure area and cause wind in multiple directions, not just one perpendicular to the portal
Op needs to elaborate if the portal is attached to the rocket or not and it's floating in the air
If it's attached, it's B because of air coming inside from the rocket moving in the air.
If it's just floating in the air and the rocket explodes on impact on the portal, then A because the explosion occurs behind the wall in sky and there is no way you can feel the explosion "because you are behind the wall in air"
>>321504414
>>321504416
Does subscribing to B in the OP situation also commit you to B in this situation?
>>321504379
The moon is always in motion :^)
>>321504940
Velocity is maintained through portals, and relativity dictates that the portal falling on the cube is equivalent to the cube falling on the portal, so B seems rational though counter-intuitive.
>>321505435
But the cube has no velocity. It would be like a doorway falling around the cube. It doesn't impart a force on the cube, so A makes the most logical sense.
>>321504940
No, that would be A.
Pic from OP would be B.
>>321504940
OP is B, yours is A.
>>321505626
The closing rate is the same regardless of whether it's the portal or the cube that is in motion.
Cube climbing at X speed towards portal = portal falling at X speed towards cube.
>>321505628
Why is one A and the other B though? If air blasts out the blue portal why doesn't the cube?
>>321504940
By principle the answer is B, but the result would look more like A.
>>321504092
C
Portals can't stay open when the platform they are on is in motion.
Portals arent real.
>>321505764
You're thinking of this backwards. The portal doesn't put any force on objects that pass through it. Your scenario only makes sense in a collision, where the travelling object can enact a force on the stationary object.
In this instance, the portal, which has been shown throughout the series to maintain the force already acted on an object but not itself affect the forces on an object, would not put its velocity on the cube.
Again, it's like a doorway falling around an object.
>>321504940
Portals fizzle when they move.
>>321505774
Because the wall stop once it hits the other wall, losing velocity and force. If it kept going through the the cube would fly, but it stops once it is slammed down, thus the cube just plops
>>321505823
The part with the lasers and the moving platforms say otherwise retard
>>321505774
Are you retarded? A doesnt do anything to the cube other than teleport it while B is literally sucking up a bunch of air like your mom sucks cock on saturday
>>321504092
C
That's unaerodynamic as fuck and the rocket crashes before the test can begin.
>>321505764
What you said is only true when the cube and portal never meet.
It's like saying that throwing a coin into a well will give the well velocity. In the portal case it's just reversed, you're throwing a well on a coin.
>>321506040
Screw you, I will make a well, that MOVES when you throw coins into it!
B
air is matter, so it'd be blasted into the portal at high speeds
>>321504940
A, this would be like dropping a hula hoop over a box, B would be if you're throwing the box through the hoop.
>>321506040
>It's like saying that throwing a coin into a well will give the well velocity.
not him, but surely it does?
it's just so tiny that the force of a coin hitting a well can't actually move it - but it does impart force on it (hence why water is pushed out of the way if it's in the well, or why the bottom can be chipped by the collision, etc.)
>>321505931
Right, but there is a period where the cube is emerging from the blue end at the speed that the orange end is going down. Why does that momentum disappear the moment the whole cube is through?
>>321506138
But the air isn't travelling at a velocity
>>321505930
This is the only right answer.
>portals on moving platforms
>portals with real life physics
>>321506223
but the portal is
that energy has to be maintained, it can't disappear
>>321504940
If you don't immediately realize that A and B are identical in all ways bar the velocity the cube is traveling then you have no part discussing physics or claiming you have any knowledge of physics.
>>321506038
Actuallt its more aerodynamic: The portal area has no drag
>>321504940
>>321506309
it has the drag of the room it opens into
>>321506209
Because it's the orange portal that's moving, not the blue portal.
Someone should make a mod out of this and see what happens.

Why do the Portals only care about movement relative to the room?
>>321506390
they did, the game can't handle it right.
>>321506209

>>321506425

>>321506470
So where does this momentum go?
>>321506406
Are you talking about the OP?
>>321506409
Grab a box, slam it down onto an object. Nothing happens.
It's the same shit.
>>321506209
This one's definitely trickier and I think we may not have enough information to know how this would work.
There are a few ways of thinking about this but to answer your question, the momentum is on the portal, not the air itself, so the portal's movement through the air shouldn't enact a force on the air passing through it, given what we understand of portals.
If you had a portal moving through the air at high speeds and a bird through flew the portal moving the opposite direction at the same speed, given what we understand, the bird wouldn't come out of the other end twice as quickly because portals don't add momentum. It would seems as though it just flew in through a window.
Assuming that's true, the air shouldn't be rushing out of the blue side any faster than if the orange portal were sitting still.
>>321506539
You missed the part where the blue end of the portal isn't moving didn't you?
Get's them every time.
>>321506507

>>321506559
So you're saying on that basis that OP should be A? Or at least not B. That seems weird.
>>321506539
No it's not, you can actively create energy with portals by abusing gravity.
Portals do not follow proper rules and physics.

This is an 18+ website.
Portals don't real you fucking retarded.
>>321506586
No, you're adding a facet that isn't true -- portals do not cause objects to "travel" as your diagram suggests. The portal moves around the object and the portal maintains any velocity the object previously had. If your diagram were true, everything that passed through a portal would become a stream of matter as it surpassed light speed in order to end up in another place instantly.
>>321506746
What is theoretical physics
>>321505774
OP is B because it keeps pulling in more and more air causing the wind like effect. Basically the same thing as if >>321504414 was dropping onto a pile of cubes they would fill the room and push whatever is infront of the blue portal away as long as the orange portal is moving.
>>321506672
Again, I think we don't have enough information to really know, but I would assume that's correct based on how we understand portals to work.
>>321506406
>>321504940
To be fair anon, there's no possible way to explain the answer on either side. If it were as simple as a hula hoop one side goes in comes out the other side it would make sense.
But we're talking about a hula hoop where one side of the hula hoop is moving and the other side isn't. So the pocket space it travels across is changing shape relative to the speed that one portal is moving. Which means each and every atomic slice of the cube would have to move a different distance within the portal than the last slice of atoms had to travel, effectively slicing the cube into atomic cheese and doing
>>321506375
that
>>321506746
explain this then, memelord.
>>321506819

How do you know that?
We have no full understanding of the science behind the portals in Portal
>>321506967
not hearing an explanation man. you said something retarded and got called out. accept it and move on.
>>321505930
They do in Portal 2. But only in a scripted sequence because Source can't the calculations for moving portals.
>>321506931
As I mentioned above, you're adding the assumption that passing through a portal causes some degree of travel or movement of the object. As we understand it, it's more like two points in space connecting via the portal. Think of it as two tubes next to one another, then someone presses the sides of the tubes together and cuts a hole in them. You've simply created a shortcut to the other tube.
If you've ever read A Wrinkle in Time, it's kinda like a tesseract, where two points of space fold into one another.
we would need to know much more about how portals work to answer that
>>321506817
This isn't a normal portal like which is presented in the game, this image's portal isn't a hula hoop and this stumps you faggots every time.
Velocity is a calculation based on relativity, generally you have a given base frame of relativity being the Earth's but in this case the two rooms have vastly different frames.
The room that the blue portal is in is traveling relative to the room the orange portal is in. If two people were standing in view of each other on either side they would see the other person accelerating towards each other when from their perspectives they are stationary.
When the cube transitions into the blue portal it's introduced to a frame which is essentially traveling backwards compared to it's last, it enters a frame which has negative [piston's speed] compared to the cube, so of course from the frame of reference in the blue room, the cube has velocity and it always had velocity when the piston in the orange portal's room began moving.
If you're struggling to accept this then answer this question, how does the cube leave the blue portal if it has no velocity?
>>321504940
I think this one is B
Instead of the object accelerating relevant to the portal (object moving closer to the portal), which means B would happen
Now the portal accelerates to the object, making B happen.
>>321507070
I'm >>321506559. I full acknowledge that we're working off of incomplete information but everything we've been told about portals is that they maintain an object's velocity as it passes through. Until we have moving portals where we can pass through perpendicularly, we can't know for sure, but I would be hard pressed to imagine that we'd come out the other end travelling more quickly than when we entered. Everything we've been shown suggest that it should be like falling through a doorway or hole, even if it were travelling directly at you.
>>321507134
They don't work on moving platforms, the planetary movement doesn't interfere as is shown in the game.
This negates all of this thread. Show me an interesting puzzle that doesn't involve moving platforms.
>>321506997
Concrete answer to the moving box is A.
Its B because of the act of air pressure
The walls of the rocket are pushing around the air, and it only has to places to go, over the sides of the wall or into the portal
the portal is not turning the air into wind, it is the air itself that is pushing other air molecules to return to equal air pressure
>>321506997
Grab a random trash bag and fling it around holding it it so it can be filled with air.
Notice how air is passing through it (or trying to, at least)? It's the same thing. Just imagine that blue portal is at the entrance of the bag and the orange portal is right after it.
It's not complex at all.
>>321504940
Can't someone just make this ingame?
>>321506891
>as long as the orange portal is moving.
And they all instantly stop when it does? You're violating locality.
>>321506891
If the wind effect is caused by air entering the orange side pushing on the air in the room, that suggests that stationary objects on the orange side transfer momentum to objects on the blue side, but if you can't transfer momentum you don't have in the first place how is this possible? If you think A is correct for one, you gotta think A is correct for the other.
>>321507335
>Portals fizzle when the surface they are on moves
>Earth constantly moves, doesn't fizzle
???
>>321507273
It stays sitting on the platform or slightly slides down the slope since it's now in the new gravitational degree of the other portal.
>>321507358
>Can't someone just make this ingame?
The piston and slanted portal surface exist in game.
Get to it anon. We'll wait.is there a user map community for portal?
>>321506507
Given that you can send an object to a higher portal as many times as you want, and thus generate infinite amounts of gravitational potential energy, I'm pretty sure conservation laws don't work.
>>321507474
I'm >>321506559 and I'd have to agree. If A is true for the box example, it makes sense that A must be true for OP's example based on what we understand.
>>321507357
But there are inconsistencies. What the fuck happens in the piston-and-box scenario if there's a wall right behind the portal on the slant?
The wall has no momentum. The box has no momentum. When the piston forces the box through the portal, an object with no momentum encounters another object with no momentum. Which object wins?
Does the piston just stop fucking moving, held fast by an invisible, impenetrable force, because it is impossible for an object with no momentum to break through another object with no momentum?
>>321507486
That's after it left the blue portal.
How did it leave the blue portal?
The blue portal isn't moving, and according to you people the cube isn't moving either.
Velocity is maintained through portals.
In OP it would be B because the object traveling through the portal, wind, is moving quickly because the rocket pushing the portal is moving quickly. You could say the portal is remaining stationary and things are moving through it quickly.
In that other one the object is stationary and the portal is moving towards it quickly. In that one it's A because the cube maintains its velocity of 0 and then falls to the ground because the other portal is tilted. The speed of the portal is irrelevant.
>>321507485
>your ass jiggles when the stool it is on moves
>earth constantly moves, doesn't jiggle
????
>>321506289
That's like saying tying a holahoop to the top of the car would cause the air going through the back to turn into a jet engine
The air has no energy. The portal is not transferring momentum to the air, only passing around it.
>>321504940
>tfw you go through a door and gets flinged away by a sudden increase in velocity
every singel fucking time! god i hate doors!
>>321507358
>>321507516
They did this years ago. The portal just mashes against the cube and does fucking nothing because you cant transport objects through moving portals ingame.
Now what would happen /v/?
>>321504092
The orange portal wouldn't work on a moving surface
>>321507302
>they maintain an object's velocity as it passes through
And velocity is relative. The cube goes into the portal with velocity relative to its entrance, and therefore must leave it with velocity relative to its exit. It's just like slamming a hoop down around an object - if it were possible to have the hoop's entrance be in motion relative to its exit.
>>321507516
I've definitely seen videos of these situations recreated in Garry's mod. No idea what conclusions they drew though.

How is it such an astounding number of people cannot grasp the concept that these portal physics images aren't hula hoops?

B, obviously
>piston pushing box vertically suddenly comes to a standstill
>>321507552
The images portal is a Portal portal and that's how it would behave in the game :)

Hint: Its neither.
>>321507560
The air molecules in the OP have no initial net velocity though, so surely by your reasoning in the second example you would have to think A for the first example.
>>321507560
But the air isn't actually moving. The portal is moving, not the air. If velocity is maintained through portals and portals do not put a force on object (as far as we know) then A must be true.
Again, if you added a bird into that scenario that is flying at the portal at the same speed in the opposite direction, it wouldn't suddenly gain double the velocity coming out of the blue side. It would be as if it passed through a window or door.
The momentum pushing the epxlosion outwards would actually create a vacuum sucking air through the blue side to the orange side.
>>321507730
Like this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsSh9vvGcfw
>>321507715
The game doesn't have and isn't designed to have in engine portals with one side moving and one side stationary.
>>321504092
OP has to be B since air pressure is already shown to work through portals.
I don't know enough about physics to answer the cube meme question that's always reposted, but it sounds like the whole premise of portals breaks the laws of physics enough that there isn't a good answer.
>>321507704
How is it not?
It's one half of a holahoop, with the other half being an instantaneous transportation of matter and force to another point in space
>>321507593
the rocket and the wall the portal is on is creating pressure on the air around it
the air moves from the high pressure area to the low pressure on the other side of the portal, thus the wind
the box has no kind of pressure or force acting on it
>>321507593
>The air has no energy. The portal is not transferring momentum to the air, only passing around it.
Then how do infinite-fall loops work? Clearly, movement through portals can impart energy. If two stationary portals and a moving object can do it, why not a stationary object and a moving portal? Relatively, it's the same situation.
>>321507623
This one seems quite clearly B.
Although it seems to be identical to the original question, having a set of portals that move relative to each other creates problems since it's never clear how they interact with each other (hence why they don't work in-game)
>>321504379
I have.
Remember that puzzle where you shoot a portal at moving tiles to have a laser cut some pipes?
I do.
Remember shooting the moon?
I do.
Maybe YOU should try playing the game.
>>321507829
Because a hula hoop's two sides are contained on a single frame of reference.
>>321507812
And that's why the image is nonsensical. The developers were aware of it being physically impossible and that's why the portals are only stationary.
>>321507740
AIR PRESSURE YOU DENSE FUCKING NIGGER
THE WALL MOVING THROUGH THE AIR IS PUSHING THE WIND AND FORCING IT THROUGH THE PORTAL
>>321504092
b. because pic related
>>321507812
in portal 2when you cut the tubes that flow the neurotoxin
one portal is moving, other is stationary
>>321507881
>the box has no kind of pressure or force acting on it
But it can clearly apply a force to objects on the other side of the portal. For instance if you stuck your face over the blue end, the cube would hit it pretty hard as it emerges from the portal depending on how fast the orange piston was moving.
>>321507940
It's not nonsensical, it's just utterly impractical.
It still abides by the rules of physics, assuming it has an impossibly infinite amount of energy which is safely contained and powering it.
>>321508045
>implying when you hit that portal it just doesn't trigger an event to happen
>>321507737
This pisses the living fuck out of me
>>321508026
But then you're moving the air. It's an entirely different question.
>>321507884
ITS NOT THE PORTAL IMPARTING ENERGY
ITS FUCKING GRAVITY YOU TURBO TARD
WITH NO GROUND TO STOP YOU YOU REACH TERMINAL VELOCITY
>>321507982
So why isn't it forcing the cube through the portal?
>>321508106
even if it's an event, it's still a moving portal
>>321507595
Yeah, I remember that time a door to another point in space flew at me. This is a regular occurrence and I am very familiar with the mechanics involved.
>>321504092
Nice way to get Afags to rethink :^)
>>321508117
>surprised that valve is an awful dev/company
I have bad news for you
>>321508070
But at that point you're adding a collision, meaning two objects can enact force on one another.
The two scenarios are not the same.
The portal STOPS MOVING after the box goes through. Meanwhile, the portal KEEPS MOVING in the rocket scenario.
This makes all the difference.
>>321504940
Anyone who answered A didn't play the game.
B is literally one of the main mechanics in the first game and they have a whole segment dedicated to it.
>>321508186
It'd be like if a house was propelled at you with the front door open and you jumped to avoid the threshold breaking your ankles.
Then people sitting comfortably in the living room took a picture of your entry.
>>321508070
no
your face would be crushed because of the momentum of the piston, when you stick your face through the portal its effectively at the same speed as the piston
once again you are confusing where the energy and momentum lies
>>321504940
no because the gravitational pull on gas compared to a fully solid cube is immensely less than said cube

Is this a fine example of the amazing American Education System ™?
Do they really teach you kids basic physics but completely ignore teaching you relativity?
>>321504092
Air would be forced in by movement of the rocket. You'd get B for sure.
>>321504940
Depends on point of reference.
>>321508121
the air is moving towards the portal in the OP, space is relative, the fixed point we're observing here is the area around the exit portal
>>321508260
What if you think of the cube as a tightly-packed bunch of molecules. The molecules newly emerging from the blue end push up on the molecules that passed through in front of them, imparting momentum.
>>321508397
A and B are both in the same point of reference.
>>321508124
Moving through a portal interface to a higher point increases potential energy without work being done. The argument that movement through portals cannot impart energy doesn't work.
>>321508125
BECAUSE THERE ISNT ENOUGH AIR PRESSURE
ITS LIKE ASKING WHY CAN YOU BLOW A FEATHER OFF A DESK BUT YOU CANT BLOW OFF A BOWLING BALL
>>321508363
The problem has nothing to do with gravity you dense fuck.
>>321508279
One of the main mechanics involves travelling through moving portals?
>>321508296
You misunderstand, you don't put your face through the portal, you just put it very close to the blue end. How does the emerging cube impart a force on your face if it has no momentum?
>>321508279
NO
NO
NOOOOO
FUCK OFFF
>>321504092
The answer is B for both questions.
If you disagree you are literally retarded and should immediately fellate a pistol to improve the overall IQ of our species.
>>321508437
Not him and I know the answer is B but what you think here as "Without work being done" was the work of gravitational vectors.
>>321508270
How does that make a difference without violating locality or causality? The matter that has already left the portal can't just magically know that the other end has stopped moving.
>>321508464

>>321508125
Because that's a WEIGHTED companion cube, the speed of the moving portal platform is presumably unable to generate enough of a vacuum from air being pressured into the moving portal to lift the heavy cube up and out of the stationary portal.
Do keep in mind that the cube is heavy enough to only be slowly scraped across the smooth testing-room floors when being nudged by a woman at running speed.
>>321504092
neither. the bomb would destroy the object the portal is on and would close the orange portal
>>321508521
No, that's the gravitational potential energy becoming kinetic energy. Moving an object through a portal to a higher point increases its potential energy without requiring equivalent work (weight x distance) done to overcome gravity.
>>321508605
it's not a bomb it's a wall with a portal on it being pushed through the sky by a rocket
If you put a portal facing a black hole, will you get pulled in facing the other side?
A
Rocket exhaust and flames will go back to the other side where the rocket came from. The portal is his 'shield'.
>>321508431
I'm saying the only guesses you can make about how this could work, since portals don't real and we can't really know, are based on either the entry portal as a reference point, where the cube doesn't move and you just lower a portal around it and nothing happens, or the exit portal as a reference, where the entire world + cube is coming at it and the world stops while the cube keeps going and is sent flying.
>>321508556
>>321508570
Have you guys never thrown a ball in your life?
Gravity existing doesn't stop all velocity and momentum dead on the ground.
>>321508664
Nevermind, I'm retarded.
That shit was attached to the rocket I see, ahhh.
>>321508483
BECAUSE YOUR FACE IS WHAT HAS MOMENTUM RELATIVE TO THE CUBE
NO MATTER HOW FAR YOUR FACE IS AWAY FROM THE PORTAL IT STILL ALL THE RELATIVE MOMENTUM OF THE PISTON AS LONG AS THE PISTON IS MOVING
ITS NOT THE BOX SMASHING INTO YOUR FACE
ITS YOUR FACE SMASHING INTO THE BOX
>>321508704
no iplayed vidya all my lifemy father never loved me
>>321508704
they're not throwing the cube, they're dropping a portal on top of it which is the same as dropping something you're holding, literally the only way to make it fly like that is if the portal is going down at near or at terminal velocity
>>321508676
You've just answered the problem with your second example, friend. Because the results are viewed from the room of the blue room.
>>321508556
>>321508570
The question is about whether the cube is stationary or in motion when a moving portal is sent its way.
Gravity has absolutely no bearing on whether it would be A or B. The only thing it's responsible for is the *plop* in A, or the cube eventually falling in B.
>>321507474
>>321507542
Basically my thinking was that of B in pic related. More and more air is entering the portal moving the old air to the back of the room.
But after visualizing it I think it might actually be C since there is in fact already air in the room, and there is nothing actually forcing the new air in. The air pressure would be equal to or a bit greater than the outside so the outside air wouldn't go into the room.
I don't even know anymore.
>>321508827
The result would be different depending on what portal you look at?
>>321508815
>literally the only way to make it fly like that is if the portal is going down at near or at terminal velocity
What says isn't?
A and B are exactly the same besides the speed at which the cube leaves the blue portal. It's just bait for people to answer A and then display their lack of knowledge. That's all it's been since its creation but unfortunately it worked too well.
>>321508704
hold a ball on the palm of your hand
then slowly tilt your palm down
does the ball shoot off at 50mph or does it fall to the floor?
>>321508796
So then why, if you agree the entire world on the blue side has momentum relative to the emerging cube, does the world not all move past the cube causing the box to appear to fly out, resulting in situation B?
>>321508937
What if the ball exits my stationary hand horizontally at 50mph like what happens in the blue portal's room??
>>321508934
>lack of knowledge
i literally just told you the ONLY time that B. would be correct would be when the portal is moving super fucking fast, so MOST of the time the answer would be A.
>>321504092
Definitely B. Assuming the fucked aerodynamics of that rocket work long enough to gain any worthwhile speed, the portal does not filter out any elements thus creating a fan-like effect.
>>321504940
Cube might move a little but not launch due to being stationary as the portal slams towards it. Remember, the portal does not filter or manipulate anything.
>>321508885
The air on the front of the rocket would be compressed, causing a high pressure zone. That would push air into the room. Fluid dynamics aren't the same as large solids being pushed around.
>>321508885
>there is nothing actually forcing the new air in
there is though, the walls the portal is on is pushing the airing and creating a high density, and then it rapidily moves to the low density of the room
>>321504092
There would obviously be some wind coming in, but air can't just flow into air, the pressure in the room would keep most of the wind out.
>>321508992
That doesn't happen since:
>The portal is moving, not the ball
>The portal stops moving its slammed down into the surface where the ball is
Like ahoola hoop
>>321509080
But the blue portal isn't moving.
>>321509032
wait, so you're arguing that a force is applied on the cube, just not enough to counteract it's weight?
im not sure i understand your position here
>>321508992
stand in a truck bed going at 50mph with a ball on the palm of your hand and tell us what happens when you tilt your hand
>>321507737
*thud*
anti-climatic
>>321509038
Imagine the wall mounted on the front of the rocket was the exact size of the portal, such that from the front there was no solid surface to press against the air, just the portal hole. Would it still create a high-pressure zone?
>>321509073
You're assuming a closed room. There is literally no reason to assume this.
>>321509071
>>321509038
But wouldnt it eventually not be enough to force the new air in? Basically starting with B and then ending at C?
>>321504940
It's A. Anyone who thinks it's B is retarded. Drop a hula hoop over a box and watch as the box leaps into the air by stealing the kinetic energy of the hula hoop.
>>321509032
You literally just agreed with me.
>>321509151
But then the ball is moving in the same reference frame as I am and this example no longer has anything to do with the original portal image.
>>321509120
yeah because gravity is involved, we're assuming that the picture is taking place inside the testing facility where all of earth's physics are taking place. judging by no scientific extrapolation, i'm assuming that the portal moving towards the cube ISN'T going down really really fast therefore when it exits the portal it doesn't have enough momentum to counteract the force of gravity still acting upon it and just flops down
>>321509032
>when the portal is moving super fucking fast
You mean like in the image in question, what with all the speed lines and shit?
Holy fuck you are dumb.
>>321509293
Reading that post is like watching your kid approach the 1000km marathon finish line only to collapse and die a meter short.
>>321509185
yes because then the wall behind the portal would be a low pressure zone, creating a high pressure around it and still forcing air through the portal
>>321509216
You might be surprised to learn that a hula hoop is not a portal.
When you drop a hula hoop around a box, the entrance and exit are both moving around the box.
With a portal, only the entrance is moving toward the box.
From the point of view of the exit of the portal, the cube is being forced through at high speed.
>>321509243
What you're doing now is assuming the portal doesn't have enough speed.
But if the portal were to have enough speed, would B happen?
>>321509351
damn you got me im trolled
>>321509293
>directing someone to your post that is immediatly after theirs
>>321509195
if the room was entirely air tight then yes
it would be filled with high pressure air and the wind would stop
>>321509243
>i'm assuming that the portal moving towards the cube ISN'T going down really really fast
Stop assuming obviously untrue shit.
>>321509420
>>321509032
yes, literally both answers can be correct we don't have enough information in the first pic, we'd need the weight of the cube and the speed at which the portal is dropping onto it also assuming that all of earth's physics still apply
>>321504092
Air enters the portal. If air is appearing on the blue side at a high enough rate it will generate a current simply because air will have to move to make space for more air. I don't really see how A could work at all.
>>321509462
You're saying it's A because it won't have enough speed to be B and I said A and B are the same besides the speed the cube exits.
I literally don't know why you think we're disagreeing.
>>321509409
The portal isn't touching the cube, so there's no way to impart any of its energy into that cube to make it go flying.
The cube would come out of the blue portal quite quickly, bu fall to the ground. The cube has no energy of its own.
>>321509195
It depends on if the blue portal is somewhere where the pressure would build or if it would be released. If they're both in open air it wouldn't stop.
>>321509409
and from the point of view of the box, a room is falling over it
if I dropped a house on you with the door open, would you suddenly shoot through the doorway?
>>321509530
We do have enough information.
And going that deep into it is kinda stupid. It's just a game
See >>321509524 for reference on speed
>>321509560
It has velocity comparative to the room it's entering.
It's sitting at 0 and then it's introduced to a frame of reference which is -100mph compared to it.
>>321505626
>cube has no velocity
depends on the poiny of reference
>>321509639
And yet it has no kinectic energy at all. It's at rest, it can't just leap into the air. It would come out at the speed of the orange portal, but would fall to the ground, not go flying across the room.
>this doorway/hula-hoop meme
these people are baiting right? people can't seriously think a doorway where both ends are moving at the same velocity is the same as a portal where both ends are moving at different velocities. nobody can be that completely and utterly retarded, right?
>>321509596
??????????
Here's a question.
What if the orange portal stops moving half way down the cube?
>>321509705
Kinetic energy is imparted onto it by the same method. Everything around it suddenly has negative kinetic energy.
Provided the piston travels fast enough it can be made to fly out.
>>321509589
You are just repeating the hula hoop comparison with different words.
I'm saying both A or B are inadequate guesses based on either the entrance or exit as a reference point, respectively.
Since portals do not exist in real life and we don't understand how they would work, we simply don't know what would happen.
>>321509705
>It would come out at the speed of the orange portal
>but would fall to the ground, not go flying across the room.
You don't know that. If the speed of the orange portal is high enough for the cube to fly across the room, then the cube obviously is going to fly.
>>321509705
>what are the laws of thermodynamics
>what is every action has an equal and opposite reaction
you're still thinking of the cube as the point of reference, the point of reference is the area outside of the blue portal
>>321509639
point of reference doesnt fucking matter
the box isnt moving, and when passes though the other side of the portal it slides down due to the force of gravity
portals conserve momentum, they do not create it
>>321509778
No it can't.
>>321506507
It doesn't travel you faggot, it wormholes through magically.
>>321508796
> AS LONG AS THE PISTON IS MOVING
How does the box know what the piston is doing? What would happen if we cut it in half as it was emerging?
>>321504092
B because winds exists

THATS NOT HOW KINETIC ENERGY WORKS YOU FUCKING RETARD
YOU CANT HAVE NEATIVE KINETIC ENERGY
>>321509705
>And yet it has no kinectic energy at all.
From the perspective of the exit portal, it does.
>>321509747
Then the cube is lifted by the velocity of the orange portal.
>>321509080
fuck the physics and videogames its a HULA hoop because you are imitating a HULA dancer to suspend the hoop
>>321509879
>you can't have negative kinetic energy
oh, so you're just stupid then.
ok.
>>321509880
Kintetic energy doesn't have anything to do with perspectives, it's not relative.
See >>321509849
>>321509747
it would stay in the same place because the forces of gravity would be equal
the portal is pushed against air at very high speed. that means a shit ton of air is entering the portal. as new air particles enters the portal, it pushes the previously air particles away, which in turn pushes the air particles before them even further away from the portal exit. its all simple air pressure.
>>321509924
energy doesn't go in a straight line, negative just means it's going backwards then.
>>321509924
my word this man is literally trying to use fucking magic to solve a puzzle
get back to me when you've finished measuring negative distances and speeds for this too
>>321509924
>>321509963
I sincerely hope you guys are joking.
>>321509959
What if the orange portal is moving fast enough as to over power gravity?
>>321509793
I do though, now shut up
>>321504940
speed is relative acceleration is constant. B is the correct answer
What happens?
>>321508990
Checkmate, atheists.
>>321509924
energy is a scalar, not a vector
it can't have direction (ie positive/negative) associated with it
>>321509948
Are you admitting this comes down to how the portals function?
>Portals act as a "door" cube flies
>portal destroys and rebuilds the cube as it exits, cube plops out
>>321510032
The kinectic momentum of the orange portal is strong enough to rip the platform from the floor.
>>321509948
>Kintetic energy doesn't have anything to do with perspectives, it's not relative
How do you know this? What research on portals with the entrance moving and the exit stationary would you cite to support this?
>>321510032
nothing since the box is tethered
>>321510032
easy
the cube stands still the moment you cut the bar attached to it, so it falls down due to gravity
And what kinda faggot tries to cut a steel bar with an ordinary scissor?
>>321510057
The cube wouldn't fly out in either case. Because the cube does not gain any energy in the process. It has the same potential energy after it moves through the portal. So it would just plop out.

I knew using the word negative would bring this reaction, I just meant that the room's kinetic energy was traveling backwards comparatively to it.
I mean, you all have kinetic energy right now sitting at your computer, it's just that you don't feel it because you're apart of the Earth's huge frame of reference.
