We can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma).
In this case, we know the force required to accelerate the book (F = 1.35 N) and the acceleration (a = 1.5 m/s^2).
Rearranging the equation to solve for mass, we get:
mass = force / acceleration
mass = 1.35 N / 1.5 m/s^2
mass = 0.9 kilograms.
Therefore, the mass of the book is 0.90 kilograms.
So the answer is B.
