What do mechanical and chemical digestion have in common?
The human stomach is filled with acid, and the lining of your stomach contains small muscles. During the digestive process, your stomach churns your already-chewed food both mechanically (muscle movement) and chemically (stomach acid).

Therefore, at 10:00 AM your breakfast has only just finished being digested... if you had breakfast at 6:00 AM.

The simple answer to this is "NO". After a meal depending on the type of meal( whether carbohydrate, fats or protein) the stomach undergoes a process of churning and mixing of the food with digestive juices. This enables easy absorption. 6 seconds is however too. Short for this process to occur. It takes approximately 2 hours for gastric emptying. Carbohydrate meals leaves faster than fatty meals which leaves faster than protein-rich meals.
