You have to use Pythagoras
[tex]v_{1}=\sqrt{v_{X1}^{2}+v_{Y1}^{2}}[/tex]
where
[tex]v_{Y1}=v_{Y0}=v_{0}sin\alpha_{0}[/tex] in both cases and [tex]v_{X1}[/tex], which I counted.

Thanks everyone for your help, and thanks Phizyk for the equations. There is something I didn't understand.
[tex]\omega[/tex] is a vector right?
I don't see how to do this comparision [tex]v_{X0}<\omega_{0}R+2v_{Y0}\mu{(\frac{mR^{2}}{I}+1) }[/tex]

Also, It seems weird to me that in the equation [tex]v_{X1}=v_{X0}-2\mu{v_{Y0}}[/tex], the angular velocity isn't involved in calculation [tex]v_{X1}[/tex]. Is there something I'm missing?
