How can you physically change a piece of paper?

In order to change the physical properties of an object, one must alter the 'format' of an object. An alteration of the physical properties is only a shift in the way an object can be described, not in the chemical composition of the product. In context a piece of paper could have its physical properties changed by being burned, being shredded, or by being submerged in water.


Why the rusting of an iron pole is not physical change?

The rusting of an iron pole is a chemical change. An example of a chemical change would be crumbling a piece of paper. When you are crumbling this piece of paper, the contents of the paper have not change and you are able to uncrumble the paper there is no difference except the paper has wrinkles. :) However in an example of chemical change like a metal rusting, you cannot un-rust it, it was chemically changed. Another example of a chemical change would be burning a piece of paper to ashes.
