Question

I just need help understanding which equation to use for this. 

A small ball is launched at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. It
reaches a maximum height of 2.5 m with respect to the launch position. Find (a)
the initial velocity of the ball when it's launched and (b) its range, defined as the
horizontal distance traveled until it returns to his original height. As always you
can ignore air resistance.
Problem 3
(a) Initial velocity
[Hints: How is vo related to vxo and vy0-
How can you use the information given to
calculate either or both of the components
of the initial velocity?]
Height
Vo
Range
(b) Range
[Hints: This problem is very similar to today's Lab Challenge except that for the
challenge the ball will land at a different height.]
