Which two motions are considered to be combined for motion in a plane?

Position of an ant ($S$ in metres) moving in $Y-Z$ plane is given by $S = 2t^2 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ (where $t$ is in seconds). The magnitude and direction of velocity of the ant at $t = 1 \ s$ will be:

$A$ particle starts from the origin at $t=0 \; s$ with a velocity of $10.0 \hat{j} \; m/s$ and moves in the $x-y$ plane with a constant acceleration of $(8.0 \hat{i} + 2.0 \hat{j}) \; m/s^2$.
