relative velocity rolling wheel

The video tutorial explains a relative motion problem involving a wheel rolling across a floor. The problem is to find the velocity of point A on the wheel, given the velocity of the center point O. The tutorial assumes pure roll, meaning no slipping occurs, and derives a formula for angular velocity. It then uses vector algebra and trigonometry to solve for the velocity of A, providing both magnitude and direction. The solution involves understanding the components of velocity due to translational and rotational movement, and concludes with a calculated velocity of 5.656 m/s at a 45-degree angle.

What is the initial velocity of the center point O of the wheel?

• 4 meters per second to the right

• 6 meters per second to the right
