burning of coal is a chemical change because the ash that we get after burning coal can not be turned into coal .

In the given case in the problem , after digestion , things that are formed are quite different . After radioactive decay new element is produced . In battery , current is produced after the chemical reaction which produces new products.

Hence all they involve chemical change.
