Yes.

When matter undergoes a physical change, only its physical properties change.

The melting of ice is the physical change of water from a solid state to a liquid state; water is still the chemical compound H2O no matter whether it is solid, liquid, or gas. Grinding a hard rock to a soft powder, stamping a piece of metal into a different shape so it becomes a coin, and compressing a gas into a high pressure cylinder, are other examples of physical change. The individual elements in each substance are the same in any of its physical states, with no change whatsoever to the chemical composition of the matter.

Yes. Physical changes only cause a substance to change in the appearance. You could measure if it grew in size, if it changed color, the amount of components the substance now contains after the physical change

Physical properties change as you introduce a physical change. For example, when you cut a paper with scissors you change its shape, and dimensions, which are physical properties.

It depends on the scale of the item being measured and the type of measurement being taken.
