physical because the cork is still a cork
Chopping a piece of wood in half is a physical change because the chemical composition was not changed by doing so.
It is a physical change, as only the size changes, not the chemical properties.
It is a physical change. The two smaller pieces of lumber still have the same composition as the original piece of lumber. There was no chemical change.

cut (something, especially wood or a tree) using a saw.
WedgeA wedge is two inclined planes that are put together and they are like a ramp. they can get between something to get it apart. they can be a saw or an axe. Title.A wedge works by seperating something apart. you can use this like an ax or you can split wood with it. it is something that can help than sawing something apart. Some advantages of a wedge is that it can take something apart that is really big and it is easier to move. another is that it is a fast way to get something apart.Some disadvantages of a wedge are you have to apply a lot of force to get something apart. another is that it can't get a straight cut in it.
You can use wedges with chainsaws... for example when falling a tree it may be useful to use wedges to help relieve pressure from the saw, or to direct the way the tree is falling.I wouldn't really consider the chainsaw itself as a wedge it can certainly be squeezed by wood when it settles as one is cutting it.Thinking of the chain itself... and the blades of saws, or for that matter, kitchen knives. The teeth on the chain are sharpened into somewhat of a wedge shape. I've always thought of it as using an abrasive action, but perhaps one could think of the teeth digging into the wood as tiny fast moving wedges.Your kitchen knife is usually pushed down through an object, perhaps with a little sawing, but generally with the effect of vertical downward motion.On the other hand, the chainsaw chain is dragged in a across the object in a horizontal motion.

Sawing a board in half is not an example of chemical change. It is an example of a physical change. Physical changes on a substance do not change the substance. When you saw a board in half, the two halves of the boards are still boards- they're not anything else.
No, that would probably be considered a physical change. It is only a chemical reaction its chemical makeup is changed.
Because burning a log in a fireplace involves a chemical change and sawing a log in half only reguires a physical change.
Sawdust is not a change. Making solid wood into sawdust by sawing it, would be a physical change.

Physical-it is still wood, just in small pieces
The process of sawing logs into boards is called 'milling'. The factory that does this process is called a 'sawmill' or a 'lumber mill' on the west coast of the USA.
I have a feeling that this is for homework, but whatever. Crushing stone, sawing wood and shredding paper are all examples.
Physical change...just think of it as if you were getting your hair "chopped" off. You only temporarily change your appearance and eventually it grows back and so will the tree.
The invention of water mills able to do work from the driven shaft.
