No, No, No...
Are you another one of them physickists or mathemagicians that don't know the difference between energy and power?
The Work done is exactly equal to the Kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = 0.5mv^2 = Work = F x distance = m x accel x distance
Power = Work / time
You go a longer distance but the acceleration is lesser, and the Work is the same.
No need for erroneous clutter--do you want to delete your post, then i'll delete mine...
