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.
Breaking a brick is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the brick. The bricks remain chemically the same even after breaking into smaller pieces.
No breaking a plate is a physical change. A chemical change is a change to a substance where its identity changes. When you break a plate you still have a plate not a new substance.
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).
Breaking a stick of gum is a physical change because the gum still retains its chemical composition even after it has been broken into smaller pieces. The breaking process only affects the physical properties of the gum, such as its shape and size, but does not change its chemical composition.
Physical change because the molecules have not changed to form a new substance.
Breaking off a branch of a tree is a physical change.
Breaking glass is a physical change, as it does not change the chemical composition of the material.
Since in breaking down there is no chemical change it's a physical change
This is a physical change.

It is a chemical change.
Breaking, grinding, cracking are all examples of a physical change. The nature of the substance has not changed, just the size of the pieces has changed.
Breaking a brick is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the brick. The bricks remain chemically the same even after breaking into smaller pieces.
