The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the Earth is measured to be 2.5×106 J/(m2⋅s) at a distance of 47 km from the source.

What was its intensity when it passed a point only 1.0 kmkm from the source?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Radiation from the Sun reaching Earth (just outside the atmosphere) has an intensity of 1400 W/m2. What would the intensity be at Uranus? Assuming that Earth (and its atmosphere) behaves like a flat disk perpendicular to the Sun's rays and that all the incident energy is absorbed, calculate the force on Earth due to radiation pressure. What would it be for Uranus? What is the force on the Earth due to the sun's gravitational attraction? What is it for Uranus?
