Given values:
2r=0.8m
r=0.4m
x1=0.8m
υcm=5.6ms
a) We will find the angular speed as:
ω=υcmr
ω=5.6ms0.40m
ω=14rads
The angular velocity of a point at height x1 will be the sum of the line velocity and the velocity of the center of mass of the wheel.
υ=υcm+rω
υ=5.6ms+0.4m14rads
υ=11.2ms
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
υ2=(rω)2+υcm2
υ=(rω)2+υcm2
υ=(0.4m14rads)2+(5.6ms)2
υ=7.9195ms
a) ω=14rads
b) υ=11.2ms
c) υ=7.9195ms

(1) Angular speed =5.60.4=14radianssec, where 0.4m is the radius of the wheel.
Since 2n radians is one revolution, 14radianss is 142π=2.23revss or 133.7 rpm.
(2) We have to add the tangential speed to the translational speed. The direction is important so we should consider velocity rather than the speed because the tangential velocity is changing but the translational velocity stays the same. At 0.80m the blue dot is at its highest point and the tangential velocity is in the direction of motion=14×0.4=5.6ms. So the speed of the blue dot is 5.6+5.6=11.2ms.
(3) The blue dot is 0.4m above the road in two different places. The tangential velocity is vertically upwards or vertically downwards, for the trailing or leading edge of the wheel respectively. The resultant velocity is at an angle of 45° to the road and has a magnitude (speed) of 5.62=7.92ms. This magnitude applies equally to both endpoints of the horizontal diameter. The direction for each velocity is different.

a) d = diameter of tire = 0.80 m
r= radius of tire = (0.5) d = (0.5) (0.80) = 0.40 m
v = speed of bicycle = 5.6 m/s
w = angular speed of the tire
Speed of cycle is given as
v=rw
5.6=(0.40)w
w=14 rad/s
b) 
V= speed of blue dotask
Speed blue of dot is given as
v=v+rw
v=5.6+(0.40)(14)
v=11.2 m/s
C. here angle b/w both the vectors will be 90 degrees, 
R=[v2+(rw)2]0.5
R=[25.62]0.5
R=7.92 m/sec

a) Angular speed (ω) can be calculated using the formula:
ω=vr
where v is the linear velocity and r is the radius of the tire.
b) The speed of the blue dot when it is at a certain height above the road can be calculated using the formula:
vdot=v2+(r·ω)2
where vdot is the speed of the dot, v is the linear velocity, r is the radius of the tire, and ω is the angular speed.
Now, let's solve the problem step by step:
a) Angular speed (ω):
Given: Diameter of the tire, d=0.80 m
Radius of the tire, r=d2=0.802=0.40 m
Linear velocity, v=5.6 m/s
We can substitute the given values into the formula to find ω:
ω=vr=5.60.40=14rad/s
b) Speed of the blue dot at a height of 0.80 m above the road:
Given: Height above the road, h=0.80 m
We can substitute the given values into the formula to find vdot:
vdot=v2+(r·ω)2=5.62+(0.40·14)2=7.92m/s
c) Speed of the blue dot at a height of 0.40 m above the road:
Given: Height above the road, h=0.40 m
Again, we can substitute the given values into the formula to find vdot:
vdot=v2+(r·ω)2=5.62+(0.40·14)2=7.92m/s
Therefore, the speed of the blue dot is *7.92 m/s* at both 0.80 m and 0.40 m above the road.

Step 1:
a. To find the angular speed of the tires, we can use the formula:
{Angular speed}(ω)=Linear speed(v)Radius(r)
The radius of the tire is half its diameter, so the radius (r) of the tire is 0.80 m divided by 2, which is 0.40 m. The linear speed (v) of the bicycle is given as 5.6 m/s. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
ω=5.6{m/s}0.40{m}
Simplifying the expression gives:
ω=14{rad/s}
Therefore, the angular speed of the tires is 14 rad/s.
Step 2:
b. To find the speed of the blue dot when it is 0.80 m above the road, we can use the formula for the linear speed of a point on the circumference of a rotating object:
{Linear speed}(v)={Angular speed}(ω)×{Radius}(r)
Here, the radius (r) is given as 0.80 m. Substituting the values of ω (14 rad/s) and r (0.80 m) into the formula, we get:
v=14{rad/s}×0.80{m}
Simplifying the expression gives:
v=11.2{m/s}
Therefore, the speed of the blue dot when it is 0.80 m above the road is 11.2 m/s.
Step 3:
c. To find the speed of the blue dot when it is 0.40 m above the road, we can use the same formula as in part (b), but with the new height of 0.40 m. Substituting the values of ω (14 rad/s) and r (0.40 m) into the formula, we get:
v=14{rad/s}×0.40{m}
Simplifying the expression gives:
v=5.6{m/s}
Therefore, the speed of the blue dot when it is 0.40 m above the road is 5.6 m/s.
