Question
An object is launched horizontally with a velocity of 12 m/s. What is the vertical component of velocity after 2s? What are the coordinates of the object after 4s?

vertical is zero.
Oh, you must mean it starts falling, not just sliding along horizontally.
Well,
velocity(vertical): -9.8t
position(vertical): -4.9t^2
position(horizontal): 12t
now just plug in your numbers for t
