A woman stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a rock horizontally over the edge with a speed of v0 = 16.0 m/s. The rock leaves her hand at a height of h = 33.0 m above level ground at the bottom of the cliff, as shown in the figure. Note the coordinate system in the figure, where the origin is at the bottom of the cliff, directly below where the rock leaves the hand.

Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the rock with time. (Use the following as necessary: t. Assume that vx and vy are in m/s and t is in seconds. Do not include units in your answers.)
