You know a physical change has taken place when the composition of the wire, upon bending, did not change. That is, a copper wire bent is still copper. Heating a copper wire, cooling a copper wire, bending a copper wire, stretching a copper wire etc etc. All of these are physical changes for the copper wire started out as copper and it is still copper.
