Rub your hands together vigorously. What happens? Discuss the energy transfers and transformations that take place.

To explain: The energy transfers and transformations that take place when you rub your hands together vigorously.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
When you rub your hand together, the friction between the hands increases, which result in increase in kinetic energy of the molecules present in the hand.
As the kinetic energy of the hand increases, this leads to increase in thermal energy of your hand which in turn makes hand to get warmer.
Conclusion:
Thus, the energy transfers and transformations that take place when you rub your hands together vigorously have been explained.
