An arrow is fired at and angle of 45 degrees with a velocity of 30 m/s above the horizontal off the edge of a 3m high cliff.

A) Resolve the initial velocity into its x and y components.
B) Find how long it takes the arrow to hit the ground below the cliff
C) Find how far from the cliff the arrow hits the ground.

PLease give some hints/formulas or ways to show me how to solve this
