This is clearly an unbirth scenario and the A and B things are unrelated. Either way, your baby is companion cube and GladOs is the father.
Thanks for coming to my Ted X talk.

The piston moves throught the portal and the portal hovers in the air.
Now what happens if you put it on a treadmill?
The entire pedestal the cube is on comes through the blue portal and the cube slides to the floor
There's a guy on YouTube with excellent portal simulations that's been working on the theory of portal physics for a while named optozorax
If you come out stationary wont you become a pancake of all your z axis compressed into a single infinitely thin plane? Also i think when the game calculates this it treats you as a point travelling through the portal plane and adds the plop worth of momentum as a compensation to not break the physics. Also if you think about it a lot of different situations already lead to extra momentum out of nowhere(classic portal above and below infinite loop as an example) so the portal in this case adding momentum doesnt break physics cause portals already break it. Also theres a problem of some people answering with the game physics in mind and other with the real world interpretation of it so this really is the perfect ragebait.

B. Because it's relative.
Also, because Cave Johnson is your dad.
Has to be, for the particles to clear the second portals entry they have to be moving at a relative velocity to the first portal at the same rate the first portal is moving
Portals don't exist so the piston crushes the cube
divide by zero
A

I'd say a mix of both. There's inertia, but there's also the gravitational force when the cube gets to the other side.
