$V = (2*pi*R)/T$

$(R) "Radius"$

$(T) "Lap Time"$

The Mean Circular Orbital Velocity calculator computes the mean velocity of an object in a circular orbit based on the radius (R) and the period (T).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following: /attachments/eb5083a0-1348-11e8-abb7-bc764e2038f2/Circular Motion.png

(R) This is the radius of the circular orbit
(T) This is the period of the circular orbit

Mean Circular Velocity (V): The calculator returns the velocity in meters per second. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The equation for mean circular orbital velocity is:

$V = (2•π•R)/T$

where:

V =mean circular orbit velocity
R = radius of circular motion (orbit)
T = Period of orbit (complete rotation)
