How do we find the centre of mass of an irregular object?

Astone is dropped with no initial velocity from the top of a cliff and hits the ground a time of 3.9 s later. what is the height of the cliff, in units of meters? you may assume that air resistance is negligible. give the answer as a positive number question 15 a figure skater is rotating at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute. what is the angular speed, in units of rad/s? 200 o 20.9 12000 o 3.33

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.

A0.580-kg rock is tied to the end of a string and is swung in a circle with a radius of 0.500 meters. the velocity of the rock is 4.50 m/s. what is the centripetal force acting on the rock? 15.5 n 5.22 n 69.8 n 23.5 n
