What is orbital velocity ? Obtain formula fororbital velocity of the earth satellite. |
|
Answer» theorbital velocityof an astronomical body or object (e.g.planet) is thespeedat which itorbits.V=√(GM÷R) Theorbital speedcan be found using v = SQRT(G*M/R). The R value (radius oforbit) is theearth'sradius plus the height above theearth- in this case, 6.59 x 106m. Substituting and solving yields aspeedof 7780 m/s |
