Answer #1

if the maximum diameter is 2.3 cm (the the use of the word diameter implies a circular orbit, I think), then the max radius is 1.15 cm.

So if

v = 2?r*f

where 2?r is the length of the circumference of the circular orbit and f is the frequency

so

v = 2?*1.15*10^(-2)*2.6*10^9 = 1.80*10^8 (a little close to the speed of light for classical mechanics)
