If you use a abrasive to scrape the rust off, then it is a physical change. If you utilize a chemical that combines with the rust leaving the unoxidized penny behind, then it is a chemical change.
The rusting of a metal chair is a chemical change. The iron is undergoing oxidation as it combines with oxygen to form iron oxide.
Iron rusting is a chemical change.
Chemical change, oxygen binds with iron.
Rusting is a chemical process, an oxidation reaction.
There is only one metal that rusts and that is iron and its alloys such as steel. All other metals corrode. No, iron is not iron after it rusts. It is now called iron oxide and will disintegrate if left unchecked . That is why we paint our gates with Blackstar Rust Converter and most electronics are coated with gold or a green varnish to prevent reaction with the air.

The rusting of the metal, the baseball hitting the roof is a PHYSICAL change
If steel rusts faster than copper or bronze, then which of copper or bronze rusts faster than the other one?
Because it rusts and moulds easily and is very, very common.
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.

The reason that copper turns green is the same reason the metal rusts, oxidization. Both metal and copper oxidize when exposed to oxygen and this is a natural process. Copper that is exposed to the outside environment is more likely to turn green and that is why copper vases and decorative pieces in gardens are often green. Copper is a metal that does not react with water (H2O), but the oxygen of the air will react slowly at room temperature to form a layer of brown-black copper oxide on copper metal which looks like green sometimes...
Iron rusts first because it is more reactive than copper. When iron comes into contact with oxygen and water, a chemical reaction occurs that forms rust, whereas copper does not rust easily due to its lower reactivity.
Because it is not a physical change it is a chemical change.
