Can someone tell me what the formulas are for the following:

initial horizontal velocity
vertical velocity
horizontal velocity at the peak
vertical velocity at the peak
horizontal position (location) at the peak

Can someone tell me what the formulas are for the following:

initial horizontal velocity
vertical velocity
horizontal velocity at the peak
vertical velocity at the peak
horizontal position (location) at the peak

initial horizontal velocity = distance /time
vertical velocity = distance /time V = D/t

horizontal velocity at the peak is half acceleration time squared v=at^2
vertical velocity at the peak - "Peak" could mean no more vertical velocity
horizontal position (location) at the peak - not sure
