Here's why:

* Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when a force is applied to an object, causing it to move a certain distance.

* Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate.

* Distance is the length of the path traveled by an object.

The formula for work is:

Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

So, work is directly proportional to both force and distance. The greater the force or the distance, the more work is done.
