Sanding rust off of a metal is a physical change. You are changing the rust's location, but not its chemical structure.
No, inflating a bike tire is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the tire or the air being pumped into it. When air is added to the tire, it simply increases in volume and pressure without altering its chemical properties.
A frozen pipe is a physical change, as it is just water changing state from liquid to solid (ice). However, a rusted metal bike is a chemical reaction as it is caused by the metal reacting with the oxygen in the air, in what is called an oxidation reaction.
The steel of your bike contains iron, which becomes iron oxide [which is rust]. It has reacted with oxygen in the air. Water in the air makes this happen more easily which is why you should keep your bike dry, or at least keep your bike painted well so that the iron/steel doesn't come in contact with air. The iron and oxygen were separate at the beginning, and are bonded together into a new substance at the end, so that tells us that this is a chemical change. A physical change is one where no new substance is made, but the substances we already had get reorganised. For example. when water boils, the steam is still the same molecule, water, just reorganised.
Physical properties important for materials used in mountain bikes include strength to withstand rough terrain, lightweight for easier handling, flexibility to absorb shock, corrosion resistance for outdoor use, and stiffness for efficient power transfer.
A bike chain is typically made of steel. It is composed of a series of interconnected links that transmit power from the pedals to the rear wheel, allowing for the bike to move forward. The steel used in bike chains is durable and resistant to wear and tear.

Ah, what a lovely question. When a bicycle rusts, it's actually a chemical change taking place. The metal is reacting with oxygen and moisture in the air, creating a new substance called iron oxide. It's all part of nature's way of transforming things, just like how we transform a blank canvas into a beautiful painting.
Chemical
The clouds are the gas form of water. The chemical change is from gas to liquid when it rains.
Physical changes are changes that only change the appearance of an object, but not the type of matter. For example, if a metal bike rusts the bike will still remain a solid. That is a physical change.
Yes, bicycle frames can undergo physical change. When metal bike frames get warm, the expand a little bit. It's not much, but they do, and this change is a physical one. All bike frames warm up just a little bit when we ride them. The frames flex just a tiny bit when we apply the stress of riding to them, and they will respond to the flexing by warning up, and the increases in temperature will cause the material to expand just a little bit. In metal frames, the metallic properties of the material from which the frame is made will undergo changes. Metals that flex or move while in use undergo what is called work hardening. The metallic crystal structure changes and smaller crystals form out of larger ones, and the metal becomes brittle. This is just one form of physical change that a bike frame can undergo.A physical change of a bike from would be if it is bent or cut.
You need to get sand.Put a bunch in your hand and start sanding.

A bike chain starting to rust is an example of a chemical change. Rusting involves the reaction of iron in the chain with oxygen and moisture, resulting in the formation of iron oxide, which has different properties than the original metal. This process is irreversible, indicating a chemical transformation has occurred.
