Circular Velocity Calculator

If you want to determine the velocity of an object rotating in a circular path, then you can use our free online circular velocity calculator.

In physics, a rotation of an object (along the circle's circumference) in a circular path is defined as a circular motion. An object rotating in uniform motion can have a constant angular rotation or a non-uniform motion with a dynamic rate of rotation. Now circular velocity is defined as an object moving with a certain speed around its axis.

 

Formula of Circular Velocity Calculator

If you want to determine the circular velocity calculator instantly, jump to our calculator, or you can find it manually by using the formula listed below:

vc = 2πr / T

Example

For a more precise and clear understanding of a concept, let us solve an example below:

Suppose if the earth rotates around an axis of the sun in a time of 365.25 days where the total radius between earth and sun is 149500000 km. Then find out the circular velocity of the earth.

Given data

Time Period = T = 365.25 days

To Find

Circular velocity = ?

Solution

To find out the, we will use the formula listed below:

vc = 2πr / T

Putting values in the formula:

vc = 2(3.14)(1495 x 108) / 365.25 = 2.571 × 109 m/s
