| 1 | 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 . |
| 2 | 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 . |
| 3 | Most of the radionuclides released are of local or regional concern , because their half-lives are short compared with the time required for dispersion to greater distances . |
| 4 | Thus the time taken to unroll a carpet is very short compared with the time interval between the arrival of successive consignments . |
| 5 | This time is small compared with the time for a signal at the speed of light to travel from the detectors at one side of the experiment to those , 6 metres away , at the other side . |
| 6 | This procedure can be rigorously justified , but roughly speaking the linear flow in B is justified for B small enough , and the affine transformation is justified because the time taken by trajectories to traverse the tubes T or 5 is small compared with the time they spend within B. It is also permissible , for r close to r* , to assume that the eigenvalues } i and the matrix A are constants which do not depend on r , whereas a and b depend linearly on ( r-r* ) . |
| 7 | The time taken to reach the highest speed is small compared to the time spent operating at this speed , so a large switching angle is chosen . |
