Please help asap!- Motion problems

I am stuck on these questions, please can some one help asap!

1. A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 32.5 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 96.9 m from the base of the building. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Find the time the ball is in motion. Find the initial velocity of the ball. Find the x and y components of its velocity just before it strikes the ground.

2. A projectile is fired straight upward at 135 m/s. How fast is it moving at the instant it reaches the top of its trajectory? How fast is it moving at the instant it reaches the top of its trajectory if the particle is fired upward at 33 degrees from the horizontal?

what have you done?

I have no idea what to do in the 1st question because nothing is given except the distance. Can u just tell me what formulas to use? Just a little hint would be helpful.

Srry couldn't help you yesturday I had to leave, . But just separate it into vertical and horizontal components I think youll be able to do it.

1) At the top of the building, what's the only component of velocity?

2) For the first part, it seems like a 90 degrees angle with the horizontal, so consider what you learned in 1D motion, Use what you know of projectile motion.
