Hey guys, a little physics or math question to you geniuses.
By hand of the Doppler-effect, I found out that the Sun's speed of rotation is about 2,1 km/s. Now, I know the time of rotation at the Sun's equator is around 25,4 days, but with my calculations, none of my answers are correct.
Information given is my answer to the speed of rotation (which I answered correct, 2.1 km/s) + the radius of the Sun (which is about 6,96.10^8m).
My plan was to get those 2,1 km/s to m/s (first calculate to km/h, then to m/s?), then divide the radius by the calculated km/s...
Someone who could help me with this?
Thanks in advance 👍
