Answer: 0.6m

Explanation:

Given that:

force = 4.5 N

Work done = 2.7J

Distance moved by the book = ?

Since work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance, apply the formula:

work = force x distance

2.7J = 4.5N x distance

Distance = (2.7J / 4.5N)

Distance = 0.6 m

Thus, the book was moved 0.6 metres far
