Actually Sue, a force of 2 Newtons applied to anything over an equal
distance will impart the same amount of energy. Simple physics, which
you unfortunately appear to misunderstand. Check any Physics 101 or
even a highschool physics text and your will find that:

I've killfiled Sue as I've had my suspicions for quite some time that
what she posts is crap. Thanks for the confirmation.
