Mrs. Clark has demonstrated a physical change involving change of shape and size of matter. The mass remains the same before and after cutting the paper, indicating that it is a physical change rather than a chemical change.
Mrs. Clark decides to do a demonstration for her class with a piece of notebook paper. Using a balance, Mrs. Clark discovers that the mass of the paper is 20 g. She then takes the piece of paper and cuts it into several small pieces. The cumulative mass of the small pieces is 20 g. What has Mrs. Clark demonstrated for her class?(1 point)
