Answer:

0.5 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 5 N

Work done (W) = 2.5 J

Distance (s) =?

Workdone is simply defined as the product of force (F) and distance (s) moved in the direction of the force. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Work done (W) = Force (F) × Distance (s)

W = F × s

With the above formula, we can obtain the distance to which the book has moved as follow:

Force (F) = 5 N

Work done (W) = 2.5 J

Distance (s) =?

W = F × s

2.5 = 5 × s

Divide both side by 5

s = 2.5/5

s = 0.5 m

Therefore, the book moved 0.5 m when the force was applied.
