The change that is likely to be a physical change to an object is the shape of the object changed.

Physical changes involve alterations in the form or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical composition. Changes in shape, size, or state of matter (e.g., melting, freezing) are examples of physical changes. In contrast, changes in the name of the object, smell, or type of molecules suggest a chemical change, which involves a transformation into a different substance.
