Hello there!

Ripping up a peice of paper is considered physical change.

Physical change means its still the same, it just changed shape.

Chemical change cannot be changed back.

For ex) Burning paper.

Its a chemical change because it cant be undone

hope this helps!

This is considered physical change because we are physically doing it. Chemical would be a reaction like color,smell or taste
