No actually it isn't. Breaking a bone is a physical change. Think about it. Are you changing it into a different substance. No you're not, so it's a physical change.
No it is not, as the ice will still retain its chemical properties. This is an example of a physical change. Remember that the indicators of a chemical change are a change in colour, a change in odour, a change in temperature, the formation of a precipitate, or a gas being given off.
Crushing an aspirin is a physical change because the small pieces are still chemically the same as the aspirin tablet.
To break into small pieces is to pulverize. If the substance is broken down far enough it will become powdered.
Food undergoes chemical changes in the stomach, where it gets broken down by stomach acids and enzymes, and in the small intestine, where further digestion and absorption of nutrients occur.
Mechanical digestion is not considered a chemical change. Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down food into smaller pieces through chewing and mixing with digestive juices, whereas chemical digestion involves enzymes breaking down macromolecules into smaller molecules.
When a piece of chalk is broken into pieces, there is a physical change as the chalk is simply being divided into smaller fragments. The chemical composition of the chalk remains the same even though it is now in multiple pieces.
No it is not, as the ice will still retain its chemical properties. This is an example of a physical change. Remember that the indicators of a chemical change are a change in colour, a change in odour, a change in temperature, the formation of a precipitate, or a gas being given off.
burning of wood is a chemical change as it produces heat and cutting it into small pieces is a physical change as there is a change in shape and size.
breaking up and grinding food particles into small pieces using the teeth

This is FALSE ! Because you only broke it in pieces and tearing or breaking into pieces is a PHYSICAL CHANGE not a chemical change. ---------------------------- I also consider that breaking graphite is only a physical change. - - - - --------------------- It's true, you break chemical bonds when you break pieces of graphite. Graphite is a macromolecule: it is found in sheets, and within the sheets each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. The only way you could possibly get it apart is to break the bonds between atoms.
In most cases yes.
Ash is made out of small broken pieces of tephra.
Weathering is the process by which rock and soil are broken down into smaller pieces by physical, chemical, or biological processes. Physical weathering involves the breaking down of rocks into smaller fragments by mechanical forces like temperature changes, ice formation, or plant roots. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions that change the mineral composition. Biological weathering is caused by living organisms like plants and animals that break down rocks through their growth or activities.
Because burnning wood is using energy but breaking is using forces. When wood burns, it's not wood any more. It turns into smoke, ash, and (maybe) charcoal. When you break wood, it's still wood. When you change something into a different substance, that's a chemical change.
Crushing an aspirin is a physical change because the small pieces are still chemically the same as the aspirin tablet.
What do you call the broken rocks
