which statement describes a physical property of copper?
○ it reacts with strong acids.
○ it can be reshaped by a force.
○ it ignites at high temperatures.
○ it can combine with oxygen.

Explanation:

Physical properties describe characteristics of a substance that do not involve a change in its chemical composition. Reshaping copper with force is a physical change (it only alters the shape, not the chemical identity of copper). The other options describe chemical properties, as they involve copper undergoing a chemical reaction to form new substances.

Answer:

It can be reshaped by a force.
