A can opener makes work easier by increasing force.
Explanation
Technically a can opener is a simple lever that increases the force with which we remove the cap of the can. Levers are rod shaped objects with fulcrum at one end and the length of the lever has a positive impact on the force.
considering the equation
work=force*distance
indicates that increasing the length of the lever/can opener increases the work done by it.
The force of gravity increases with mass, but decreases with increasing distance between objects.
The answer to the first one is sublimation.
