In the context of physics, a collision generally refers to an event where two or more bodies exert forces on each other for a relatively short period of time. Therefore, we can evaluate each example listed:

1. **A giraffe chewing a leaf**: This involves the giraffe's mouth and teeth acting on the leaf, creating a localized interaction, but it is not typically classified as a collision.

2. **A dog scratching on the door**: This involves the dog interacting with the door. If we consider the scratching as a forceful contact between the dog's claws and the door, it could be classified as a collision.

3. **A log burning**: This is a chemical reaction (combustion) happening over time and does not involve physical contact with another object in the sense of a collision.

Based on this analysis, we can conclude:

- **A dog scratching on the door** is an example of a collision.

Thus, the answer to how many of the scenarios are examples of collisions is **one**.
