Homework Statement
Ive been trying to find the Inertia and Kinetic energy of the sun. I have a feeling I am using the wrong formulas to obtain the answer.
Mass of sun 2*10^30kg
Radius of sun 700*10^6 m
t spin = 26 days
the answers should be
I = 4.0 * 10^98
K energy = 1.5 * 10^16
Homework Equations
I=(2/5)*M*R^2
K= (1/2)M*(ω^2)*(r^2)
ω = 2pi/t
The Attempt at a Solution
If someone knows how to do this i would really appreciate it.
