I'm new to physics I tried doing some research but I can't seem to fully grasp the concept.
My question is, how would one find how much energy is needed to destroy a object a select distence away from the blast
For example if a star when super nova and had a x amount of joules, and let's say a planet was 10 AU away, and that planet was Earth and the energy needed to destroy it was 2×10^32 joules
How would you calculate the intensity of the intial explosion to be able to still destroy the planet at that distance?
I believe it was square inversed law but I'm not sure could someone help me out?
