What type of energy is produced when you rub your hands together?

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The change in temperature produced by rubbing your hands together is called friction, and it is the conversion of chemical energy in your cells into kinetic energy (The force that makes you rub your hands together) and that kinetic energy is partially converted into thermal energy. The conversion of kinetic to thermal is called friction.


What happens when you rub your hands together vigorously?

Yes, rubbing your hands together makes friction. This friction makes heat.


Mechanical energy to thermal energy?

Rub your hands together and they feel warm, right? That's it, rubbing your hands is using mechanical energy, which is by friction then converted to thermal energy (heat).
