    Circumference of the tire = (2 pi) x (radius)

    = (2 pi) x (0.62 meter)

    = 3.9 meters

    If the tire never slips or skids, then the speed of the vehicle is

    speed = (distance) / (time to cover the distance)

    = (5 x 3.9 meters) / 1 second

    = 19.48 meters/second.

    (about 43.6 miles per hour).

    We can't say anything about the vehicle's velocity, because we have

    no information about the direction in which it's heading.
