Answers: 5 seconds, 50 meters, and 50 m/s
 
And a whole lot of personal satisfaction.

You need to show your work!

Y = Vit + 1/2gt^2
122.5 = 0 + 0.5(9.8)t^2
t = (245/9.8)^0.5 = 5 s

X = VixT = (10 m/s)(5 s) = 50 m

Vy^2 = Vyi^2 + 2gY = 0^2 + 2(9.8)(122.5) = Vy = 48 m/s
Vf = (48^2 + 10^2)^0.5 = 50 m/s
