Which statements describe how a machine can make work easier? check all that apply.
it can put out more force than the input force by decreasing the distance through which force is applied.
it can increase the amount of work performed if the output force is in the same direction as the input force.
it can apply a force to an object in a different direction than the force applied to the machine.
it can increase the distance through which a force acts by exerting less force than was used on it.
it can exert a greater force through a greater distance than the force used on the machine.

Answer;It can increase the amount of work performed if the output force is in the same direction as the input force. It can apply a force to an object in a different direction than the force applied to the machine. It can increase the distance through which a force acts by exerting less force than was used on it.Explanation;A machine is a device that helps make work easier by changing the size or the direction of force. When a machine is used the work involved is; the work done by the machine and the work the machine does on another object.When a machine changes the size of the force, the distance through which the force is exerted must also change.Force or distance can increase but not together, when one increases the other must decrease, since the  work input is never greater than the work input.
