Is breaking of a tree branch a physical or chemical change?
Yes, it is undoubtly physical itself. The cause of easy breaking eg. after chemical detoriation of its fibrous structure by molds can be chemical. The force by which it's breaking (wind, gravity) is physical however.
Is a tree limb breaking a chemical or physical change?
It is a physical change: the wood (mostly cellulose) is not changed by the breaking. However, the living cells (if any) in the branch will begin to change chemically when exposed to the air and cut off from the xylem and phloem in the rest of the tree. Eventually the cells will die and the wood will rot (chemical changes).
Example of physical change?
The Examples of Physical Changes: - hole in a paper - branch falling off tree - painting wood - breaking glass - melting ice - freezing water - melting iron The Definition of Physical Change A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. Ice melting, water evaporating (the water cycle)

Is chopping down a tree a chemical change?
no it is a physical change the tree did not change into a different thing it simply changed in size
Is hammering metal into a flat sheet physical or chemical change?
A physical change means converting how an object looks or feels. Water changed into ice or water would be a physical change. Breaking, bending, melting, evaporating are all physical changes. A chemical change would be changing an object into something you can't change back. Taking bark off a tree (physical) and burning it is a chemical change. Chemical change means burning, rusting, and combustion. I hope this helped. Nossy
