speed of light is constant and its value is 299,792,458 m/s...
also it is 299,792 in km per second... :)

I attached the picture of the missing table.
Center of mass is the point such that if you apply force to it, the system would move without rotating.
We can use following formula to calculate the center of mass:
R=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_ir_i
Where M is the sum of the masses of all particles.
Part 1
To calculate the x coordinate of the center of mass we will use this formula:
R_x=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i
I will do all the calculations in the google sheet that I will share with you.
For the x coordinate of the center of mass we get:
R_x=0.96m
Part 2
To calculate the y coordinate of the center of mass we will use this formula:
R_y=\frac{1}{M}\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iy_i
I will do all the calculations in the google sheet that I will share with you.
For the x coordinate of the center of mass we get:
R_y=-0.84m
Part 3
We will calculate speed along x and y-axis separately and then will add them together.
v_x=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iv_x_i}{M}
v_y=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n=i}m_iv_y_i}{M}
Total velocity is:
v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}
Once we calculate velocities we get:
v_x=-1.08\frac{m}{s}\\ v_y=-0.03\frac{m}{s}\\ v=\sqrt{(-1.08)^2+(-0.03)^2}=1.08\frac{m}{s}
Part 4
Because origin is left to our center of mass(please see the attached picture) placing fifth mass in the origin would move the center of mass to the left along the x-axis.
Part 5
If you place fifth mass in the center of the mass nothing would change. The center of mass would stay in the same place.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet:
