Compute all parts of following question:

Question: Tom is chasing Jerry across a table surface which is 1.5 m above the floor. Jerry steps out of the way at the last moment, leaving Tom to slide right off of the table with a speed of 5.0 m/s. Let the positive-x direction point in the direction Tom was running, and the positive-y direction vertically upwards.

Part A: What are the x- and y-components of Tom's initial velocity the instant he left the table's surface?

Part B: How long does it take Tom to hit the floor?

Part C: At what horizontal distance from the edge of the table does Tom hit the floor?

Part D: What is Tom's velocity just before he hits the floor?

Can someone please explain what the heck is going on?
