One of the properties of solids is that it cannot be compressed or expanded (like a gas), but there are some exceptions where solids do slightly change size, usually with a change of temperature or pressure. Rubber shrinks in cold weather, for example. The amount of change and under what conditions is dependent on the compound's unique chemical composition.

Can a physical change can change an object into a different kind of matter?

No, a physical change does not change an object into a different kind of matter. It only alters the form or appearance of the substance, such as size, shape, or state (solid, liquid, gas), without changing its chemical composition.
