The Portal Dilemma: The Case Of The Teleporting Cube

“PLOP” or “WHOOSH”?

Portal Dilemma — There is an entrance portal on the face of a moving piston that leads to an exit portal on the face of an inclined surface. As the piston moves fast downward, it moves toward a flat platform with a cube. You could imagine that as the piston moves downward with the entrance portal on its surface, the cube gets teleported out of the exit portal on the inclined surface. Given this setting, the question is if the cube comes out with zero velocity or with the velocity of the piston.
