That's a joke, but check that making a force can be useless if you don't move the object. You're using your force to fight another force... but that's not changing the energy. | |

| May 9, 2018 at 19:46 | comment | added | safesphere | Perhaps you should look at power (work per unit of time) to better understand work. For example, if you engine runs at a constant power to accelerate your car or spaceship (ignoring friction), then the work would be linearly increasing in time for as long as the engine is running. It also is always better to say "with no limit" instead of "infinitely", because the infinite is not a scientific concept (despite a widespread confusion). | |
