does using a machine change the amount of work being done?\nyes\nno

Brief Explanations:

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), the work done is defined as the force applied over a distance ($W = Fd$). Machines change the force or distance but the total work (amount) remains the same (ignoring energy losses like friction, but the ideal mechanical advantage shows work input equals work output). So using a machine doesn't change the amount of work done.

Answer:

no
