It is both because as you eat it it's physical being is changed. It is a chemical change because the chemical in your stomach digesting it break it down.
Hope that helps!!
It is a physical change because while the apple is cut into smaller pieces, it is still composed of the same materials. If you lit the apple on fire, that would result in a chemical change.
1. First step: a physical change 2. Second step: a chemical change
Eating an apple is both chemical and physical. By biting and chewing the apple you are causing a physical change in the apples general structure- nothing chemical. But when you swallow the apple and your stomach acid breaks down the apple and absorbs nutrients you are exerting a chemical change.
It is a physical change because the apple is still an apple and nothing changed the composition of what's in the apple.
it is a physical change because no reaction occurs and there is no new substance. :)
it is a chemical change
Cutting an apple is a physical change
An apple turning brown is a CHEMICAL change.
This is a physical change. You only change the shape and size of an apple by slicing it. Chemical changes would mean changing the molecular composition of the apple.
cooking an apple is causing a physical change because in a physical change, the IDENTITY of the substance never changes. (identity=atomic makeup. in a chemical change, the IDENTITY does change, due to a chemical reaction. because there is no change in the identity of the apple, baking it is a physical change
Physical because it is still a apple just a part of it

When an apple rots, it's more of a chemical change. Sure, you can SEE the change in it..but the look, is not the actual change. It is a chemical change, catalysed by an organism. The apple wouldn't rot, if there were no chemical change.

Physical change because you're just changing the shape of the apple, and not making the apple into a new substance

Fermenting is a chemical process.
