Mathematical Model

Orbital Velocity

v = √(GM/r)

Determined by equating centripetal acceleration to gravity: mv²/r = GmM/r² where r = R + h.

Orbital Period

T = 2π√(r³/GM)

Derived by dividing path circumference by speed: T = 2πr/v

Total Energy

E = −GMm/(2r)

Calculated as the sum of kinetic and potential states: E = K + U.
