Calculating the time required for the cooking robot to flip an object

Click For Summary
The calculated time for the cooking robot to flip an object is approximately 0.2 seconds, which seems low compared to the estimated 0.4 seconds observed in a video for flipping 100g of meat. The calculation was made under the assumption of no drag and friction, raising questions about its accuracy. The user seeks validation of their method to ensure the result is reliable. The discrepancy between the calculations and the video observation suggests a potential need for reevaluation of the assumptions made. Accurate timing is crucial for the robot's performance in cooking tasks.

Hi, i have calculated the time required for the cooking robot to flip an object as you can see from the attached file, however, the time result that i got was about 0.2 second which 's a bit small. So I'm wondering whether my calculating method is correct or not.
Also, please note that i assumed no drag and friction.
Appreciate your help
Thank you so much,
Samuel

From the video, the estimated time require to flip the meat weight 100g usually takes about 0.4 second.

Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'

The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
