Is there a diagram describing the motion in question? What component(s) are being asked for ... horizontal, vertical, radial, tangential? Thanks from idontknow

What do you mean by all? ... if you're looking for a calculus-based description of motion, I recommend you refer to your textbook and/or google "calculus-based kinematics" and research the details for yourself.

The question is too vague because components are found along a direction and no directions are specified in the question. You should also specify which coordinate system you are using (Cartesian, cylindrical polar, spherical polar, etc.)
