Paano Kalkulahin si Orbital Velocity

Ano ang Orbital Velocity?

Orbital velocity is the speed needed to maintain a circular orbit at a given altitude. It depends on the central body's mass and orbital radius.

Pormula

The calculator applies V_orbit = √(GM / r)
GM
GM value — Variable used in the calculation

Step-by-Step na Gabay

  1. 1Enter the central body's mass, orbital radius, and gravitational constant
  2. 2The calculator applies V_orbit = √(GM / r)
  3. 3Results show circular orbital speed

Mga Nalutas na Halimbawa

Input
M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg (Earth), r = 6.378 × 10⁶ m (surface)
Resulta
V_orbit ≈ 7,900 m/s
First cosmic velocity

Mga Karaniwang Mali na Dapat Iwasan

  • Confusing orbital velocity with escape velocity
  • Using altitude instead of orbital radius

Mga madalas itanong

Why doesn't the Moon fall toward Earth?

It's continuously falling but moving sideways at orbital velocity; gravity continuously redirects its path.

Do all orbits have the same velocity?

No, velocity decreases with orbital radius following V ∝ 1/√r; higher orbits move slower.
