Tearing paper does not directly affect the composition of the paper's molecules, or its mass. You can recycle the paper, and end up with a piece of paper again. For some types of paper, simply wetting it, connecting the pieces, and drying it again would create the same size sheet of paper.
When you tear a piece of paper, a physical change occurs as the paper is physically broken apart into smaller pieces. This change does not alter the chemical composition of the paper, so it remains the same substance before and after tearing.
a physical change of paper is ex: ripping,cutting, and anything else to make the paper smaller, shorter, or less of what it was. tearing,
putting water in to the refrigerator to freeze it cutting wood dropping plates, or cups chopping fruits or vegetables tearing paper breaking items chewing pencils peeling potatoes
Burning of paper is actually an example of a chemical change, not a physical change. During burning, the chemical composition of the paper changes as it reacts with oxygen to produce new substances like ash, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.
Wax melting from the candle.(it has the same properties in liquid state too)
Tearing paper represents a physical and not a chemical change. Chemical bonds are not broken in this instance, but paper is physically separated (by force) from other paper.
Tearing paper is a physical change as you do not change what the parer is made of.
It is a physical change.
physical
because burning of paper is a chemical change while tearing of paper is a physical change
Tearing paper is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the paper. The paper still remains paper, just in smaller pieces.
A physical change. A chemical change would be, for example, burning clothes, or dissolving clothes.
Physical change
Psychical change because you're not changing the chemical make-up of the piece of paper, just dividing it. Think of it like cutting an apple. You can only cut it so many times before it's a chemical change.
Tearing paper is a physical change that is reversible. It can be reversed by taping or glueing the torn pieces back together. The paper retains its chemical composition after tearing, making it possible to revert back to its original state.
no... its a physical change
Ripping up a paper is a physical change because the paper remains the same chemically before and after the tearing. No new substances are formed during the tearing process.
