Radial acceleration is given by

a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}
where 

v=r \omega
then

a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Now

70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2}  \\  \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }

Using the relation

\omega=2 \pi f

2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\  \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz

Putting into rpm

\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm

A 2300 Kg car accelerates from rest to 6.00 m/s in 12.00 seconds. What is the net force acting in the car?
pav-90 [236]
F=ma
a=(v2-v1)/(t2-t1)
a=(6-0)/(12-0)
a=6/12
a= .5 m/s^2
f=2300kg*.5m/s^2
f=1150N
f=1200N if using correct sig figs

A student lifts a physical science book off the table and above their head. Is there work being done?
DiKsa [7]

Answer: A force must cause a displacement in order for work to be done. A book falls off a table and free falls to the ground. Yes. This is an example of work.

Energy is released during the fission of pu-239 atoms as a result of the
pav-90 [236]
<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted.  </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by  the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>
