Is a rusting bicycle a physical or chemical change?

It's not the rusty bike it's the rusting of the bike. rust forms in a process called oxidation, or when iron comes in contact with oxygen. Also one reason you can tell it's a chemical change is when you can't reverse the process. Or when it involves changing the chemical compound.

What is rusting metal?

Metal rusting is a piece of metal such as a bike, and you leave it out in the rain. In a couple weeks, (If it's still out there,) it will be rusty. Rusty is a brown hard piece that sticks to metal. You need a scraper and a spare hour it your planning on getting it off.The actual process is oxidization. Iron (Fe) becomes rust by having oxygen attach to the molecular structure (FeO2). Rust is about 50% heavier than the original metal.


Will a larger bike always have more momentum than a smaller bike?

No.Momentum is a combination of weight and speed, so something lighter travelling faster can easily have the same momentum as something heavier travelling slower.So, if the bigger bike also is the heavier bike, and the bikes are always travelling at the same speed, then it will have more momentum.Otherwise, anything goes.
