Four particles are in a 2-D plane with masses, x- and y- positions, and x- and y- velocities as given in the table below:

	m	x	y	v_x	v_y
1	7.6 kg	-2.6 m	-4.7 m	3 m/s	-4.1 m/s
2	9.3 kg	-3.5 m	3.6 m	-4.9 m/s	5 m/s
3	8.9 kg	4.4 m	-5.5 m	-5.9 m/s	2 m/s
4	8.6 kg	5.4 m	2.5 m	4.2 m/s	-2.9 m/s

1) What is the x position of the center of mass?

2)What is the y position of the center of mass?

3)What is the speed of the center of mass?
