any change NOT involving a change in the substances chemical identity- type of matter is still the same
for ex. you cold change the texture, volume, shape, mass, size, weight, color, density, or odor.
More scientifically, it's a change that doesn't involve altering the chemical makeup of an object.
I'll give a few examples.
Take a glass window and break it. Now, instead of one pane of glass, you have many small shards of glass- but they're still glass!
Take water and freeze it. Ice is simply water in a different phase, it's still molecules of h2o, so chemically it is the same.
Take a piece of copper wire and bend it. The physical properties of the wire are now different- it has a bend in it. But it's still copper!
An example of a change that's not physical, but chemical, would be rusting iron. When iron rusts it becomes chemically different, a compound called iron oxide (Fe -> FeO).
Physical change is a change which takes place without any process of mixing of chemicals. It is a process of change in matter by manual method. If matchstick is burnt the burnt part cannot be regained. This is called chemical change.If the paper is crushed it can be regained to its original shape. this is called physical change.
so basically a pyhsical change is any change NOT involving a change in the substances chemical identity- type of matter is still the same

∙ 13y agoIn science a physical change is a change which is reversible, no new substance is made.
Example: an ice cube in the sun goes from solid to liquid then evapourates and turns into gas.

(Motion) is the answer for A+

Change in position of one object compared to the position of another?
The change in position of an object compared to a reference point(another object) is called motion.
What term is defined as a change in a object position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What is the change in position compared to something that doesn't move called?
motion =)
What is when an object changes its position over time relative to a static reference point?
the answer is motionAn angle.DisplacementMotion is a change in the position of an object in relation to a reference point.
What is scientific movement?
It is the process of a change in position relative to some fixed point of reference.
Change in position of one object compared to the position of another?
The change in position of an object compared to a reference point(another object) is called motion.
A change in the position of an object when compared to a reference point is defined as speed.?
false
What is a change of position to a reference point called?
Motion
What is a change in an object's posititon?
The change in position of a point in reference to a previous position is called displacement.
What term is defined as a change in a object position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What term defines as a change in an objects position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
A change in a position in respect to a reference point is called?
movement or motion
What do you mean by rest in physics?
if a body do not change its position with time as compared to a reference point then the body is said to be in rest
What is the change in position compared to something that doesn't move called?
motion =)
What term is defined as a changed in an objects position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
When is an object in motion?
When its position changes with respect to a point of reference.
Is the change in position of an object when compared to a reference point defined as speed?
No, this would be "displacement" or "motion." Speed is the non-directional scalar quantity (magnitude) for the rate of positional change.
