The equations you posted look like falling through a medium with linear drag. That is clearly not going to come to rest in consequence of those equations. It will come to rest, one presumes, when it lands.
Please post the exact question as given to you.

Only partly. You have posted some equations and your own paraphrase of the question. This still does not make sense since it is obvious from those equations that it will not come to rest in the y direction.
Please post the complete statement of the question as provided to you.
