Answer:

Distance = 150 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Work done = 6,000 Joules

Force = 40 Newton

To find the total distance covered by the wheelbarrow;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6000 = 40 * distance

Distance = 6000/40

Distance = 150 meters

Therefore, the total distance the wheelbarrow was pushed is 150 meters.
