Answer:

The correct option is 'd': The change in shape of an object.

Explanation:

Since by definition physical change is defined as a change that changes only the form of an object or substance and producing no change in the chemical composition of the substance. Physical changes are reversible in nature.

As we can see from all the options the change in the shape of the object is a reversible change as we can always remold any substance in any shape, thus it confirms to a physical change.

The change in the molecular composition of an object is a hallmark of a chemical reaction thus indicates a chemical change.

The smell change in an object is an indication of a chemical change in the object hence is not a physical change.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Potential energy plus kinetic energy are combined to form mechanical energy. According to the principle of mechanical energy conservation, mechanical energy is constant in an isolated system when only conservative forces are acting on it. Potential energy increases when an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force. Kinetic energy also changes as an object's speed, not velocity, changes. However, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will always be present in real systems; however, if these forces are of minimal magnitude, mechanical energy changes little, making the idea of its conservation a reasonable approximation.
