If you make some assumptions and get an answer, that will be a very good start. To finish off, you then just need to analyse how your assumptions affect the initial velocity, and change the assumptions to make it minimal.
For example, you could assume that the launch pad is ten miles away from the wheel. And you will get an answer. But the initial and terminal velocities will be so high that you might as well call the human cannonball a meatball.
