when a match is struck the friction caused is actually the electromagnetic force of the molecules which make up the match stick and the surface struck against.
The electrons within the atoms of the match stick repel against the surfaces electrons and causes excitement within the atoms of the match stick. The excitement is actually heat and the kerosene on the end of the match ignites into a flame.
The flame is excited electrons. They have so much energy that they are able to escape the attractive force from the nucleus. The reason why the flame is hot is because of the energy the escaping electrons carry.
As for the energy, It would be the kinetic energy of the electrons. Suppose you could call that chemical energy but that's really just kinetic energy.

Is a burning match a example of physical energy into chemical energy?
There are many energy changes which take place when burning a match. First, kinetic or movement energy is used to scrape the match. Then, the chemical energy stored in the match becomes heat energy of the flame. I am not familiar with your use of the term physical energy, but if by this you mean kinetic energy then yes this would be an example of physical energy into chemical energy.
What type of energy does a match contain?
Chemical energy.
What type of energy is a burning match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
What type of energy does a match create?
Thermal energy (heat)
What type of energy is a match before it is lit?
chemical energy
What type of energy is in the match before it is burned and while it is burning?
While the match is burning it has thermal energy
What type of energy transformation does burning match represents?
A match burning is an example of chemical energy transitioning to light and heat energy.
What type of energy do matches use?
A match has chemical energy stored. The moment it is used, this is, of course, converted into heat energy.A match has chemical energy stored.
