If
f = ma and e = 1/2mv² and e = f·d
and you apply the following constraints
friction losses in wheels and air drag are constant or negligible
force at the wheel hub is constant
Oberth would play a part. Same force applied, same interval of application, same acceleration, would yield a higher Δe because the distance covered during force application would ...
