Orbital velocity is the velocity with which a satellite revolves around a planet in ins orbit
Derivation
Conside a sateliteof mass m revolving around the earth of mass Mand radius r.
Let the height of the satellite be h,
The gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the satellite is GMm/r2
This gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force to keep it in its orbit
If vo is the orbital velocity of the orbit
fc=mvo / r2
fc=fg
mvo2/r = GMm/r2
vo2=GM/r
vo= (GM/r)1/2 {root}
