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

AI Thread 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

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
