Sorry. :( But do you know the answer?

Yes, eating an apple is considered a physical change. A physical change refers to a change in the physical properties of a substance, without altering its chemical composition. When you eat an apple, it undergoes several physical changes. Firstly, the apple is broken down into smaller pieces by biting or cutting it, changing its physical shape. Then, as you chew the apple, mechanical forces break it down further into smaller particles. The act of chewing and grinding the apple alters its texture and size, but it still remains an apple. Finally, when you swallow the chewed apple, it enters your digestive system, where it is further broken down by enzymes and digestive fluids. These processes involve physical changes such as the physical breakdown of the apple, but the chemical composition of the apple remains the same throughout the entire process.
