Had argument with user over this all night long, so wanted to bring it up to you lads to see which you is the right answer. Do you think it's A or B?
>also Sanic placed in there because vidya, and fitting for the type of question being asked/discussed
It all depends on the weight of the box and how hard sonic pushed it
is this a solid cube or an empty box?
It depends how hard the box is being pushed and whether it can keep its rotation on the slope.
If the box were being pushed flat across the surface, it would make more sense in the game to slide down the hill after reaching the slope. However, since it's already rotating, it should remain that way when traveling down the hill.
Depends on weight, speed its being pushed at, the material of the box and ramp, etc. Not nearly enough info.
If the ramp is more steep than 45 degrees and the friction coefficient is not very small, the box will always roll.
If the ramp is less steep than 45 degrees, it depends on the mass and friction coefficient. Just assume it slides at first and draw a free body diagram and solve for torque.
this is the retarded portal question but somehow even shittier
kill yourself OP
It depends on the weight of the box and the friction between the box and the surface. You'll learn that in high school.
B if Yanderedev tried to program it.

If you are programming a video game, the answer should be A regardless of real world physics. It will flatten enemies more predictably and open the opportunity for the player to ride the sliding block.
and it would include many redundant if-else/switch cases
Depends on friction, how hard it is pushed and where the force is applied, and how heavy it is.
You can make a whole study of each case, honestly. It's not super elaborate, but let's assume the push is only strong enough to push it over the edge, if the box is very heavy it won't roll (too much rotational intertia), unless there's enough friction. Let's go with the first case, that friction is not enough to produce meaningful torque, then the box will 'slide' on it's tip and something akin to A will occur at first, but the contact surface is now much higher, so friction on the slope might be enough to cause it to start rolling. Still, if it is heavy enough it should still be insufficient and it would probably be A. One could find a relation between slope angle, friction coefficient, mass, etc. You're playing with a lot of parameters here, and this is only an example of how you must balance them all together and make a lot of hypotheses to reach a definitive answer.
Perfect shapes don't roll easily since changing the axis of rotation has to overcome inertia, if the corners and sides were a bit rounded it would roll much easier, then mostly depending on the angle.
What's the term for anti inertia? Physicslet here. I can't think it's centrifugal force but that's what my dad kept saying so it's stuck in memory.
Anti intertia? Never heard of anything like that, inertia can most simply be described as a 'resistance to change speed' (and is essentially how heavy something is). 'Anti inertia' would be, what, some quality that makes it easier to change speed?
Centrifugal force is one of other phenomena that appear when you are in a frame of reference experiencing acceleration. If your frame of reference is rotating then other objects that are rotating 'on it' will move away, the phenomenon is easy to explain if you're watching the rotating system from a still one but from the rotating one you can only explain it by inserting a centrifugal force that doesn't appear to come from anywhere.
Actually if I think about it for a moment there's a few forces that kinda sorta fit the 'anti intertia' moniker (if you ignore what inertia is formally) and centrifugal force is one, in a sense. The centrifugal force is proportional to the distance to the center of rotation so anything under it's effect will move further away, which will further increase the force it experiences, etc. It appears that an object, no matter how heavy it is, can quickly acquire speed from your frame of reference (assuming it can move freely). Maybe this is what you had in mind?
Y'all fucking retarded
Do I have to write down a Lagrangian?
Both can happen user. If Sonic lightly sets the box on the incline it will slide, if he pushes hard enough it will roll. Literally any object can slise or roll depending on the force ( as long as it's not a sphere or somthing. )
you and your friend are fucking idiots for arguing over that image. I can't comprehend how you even managed to form a coherent argument considering how there are many factors that determine which outcome it would be such as slope angle and rotation speed and you failed to define any of them
ah, you know what, I take one thing back, I think we can assume the slope is 45 degrees
What is the mental state of the box?
If it is heavy: Example A. If it is light: Example B. There are exceptions but that should be good enough.
