Answer 1

Here are the possible changes to the matter for each statement:

1. A baseball player hits a ball and the bat shatters:

   • Change: Chemical and physical change. The bat undergoes a physical change (shattering) and may involve a chemical change depending on the materials.

2. 2 swings on the playground hit each other and one swing moves away:

   • Change: Physical change. The swings collide and transfer kinetic energy, resulting in movement.

3. Exhaust from rocket fuel as a spaceship leaves the ground:

   • Change: Chemical change. The rocket fuel undergoes combustion, producing exhaust gases.

4. 2 bumper cars collide and move away from each other:

   • Change: Physical change. The collision changes the direction and speed but not the composition of the bumper cars.
