Work W done by moving the object with force F for distance s is W = Fs.
When I move the same object the same distance but with twice the acceleration, does
the work done gets also doubled?
By F=ma, doubling the acceleration yields m*2*a = 2F -> 2Fs = 2W.
I've mostly read, that if I want to increase work, I must either increase the mass of the object or
the distance, which gets me confused, because acceleration is also in the equation.
