How does a pulley make work easier when it is used to lift an object?(1 point) Responses It increases the amount of work produced to lift the object. It increases the amount of work produced to lift the object. It changes the direction of the lifting force to work with gravity. It changes the direction of the lifting force to work with gravity. It reduces the weight of the object being lifted. It reduces the weight of the object being lifted. It decreases the distance over which the force must be applied to lift the object.

The correct response is: It changes the direction of the lifting force to work with gravity.
A pulley enables you to lift an object more easily by allowing you to pull down on the rope, which instead lifts the object upward, effectively changing the direction of the force you apply.
