| 2 | The result is that the hammer or the bullet is pressing against its target for a period , perhaps about a hundredth of a second , which is very long compared with the time which is required to conduct the energy away from the point of impact in the form of waves of sound or stress . |
| 3 | Provided that the sound travel time h/c ( c is the sound speed in the object ) is short compared with the time for the impactor to fall through a scale height , stresses parallel to the axis should roughly be in hydrostatic equilibrium , with the axial stress at any point within the object being that required to decelerate the trailing mass . |
