I think it's because of friction and because your hands are warm.

∙ 11y agoWhen you rub an eraser against a piece of paper to erase writing, friction is created between the eraser and the paper. This friction generates heat, causing the eraser to feel warm to the touch.
Friction causes the eraser to become warm.
Eraser shavings typically get warm due to the friction generated when erasing. The mechanical energy from rubbing the eraser on paper is converted into heat, making the eraser shavings feel warm to the touch.
When you rub an eraser against paper, friction between the eraser and the paper generates heat. This friction causes the molecules in the eraser to move faster, which in turn increases their kinetic energy and creates the sensation of warmth.
Rubbing an eraser against a piece of paper creates friction, which generates heat. The friction between the eraser and paper causes kinetic energy to convert to thermal energy, resulting in the warm feeling you experience.
Melting an eraser in the microwave is not recommended as it can release harmful fumes and damage the microwave. It's safer to use traditional methods like using a hair dryer or warm water to soften the eraser if needed.
When you rub an eraser against paper, friction is created between the eraser and the paper surface. This friction generates heat due to the mechanical energy produced during the rubbing process, which can be felt as warmth.
He was able to use the side of his shoe as an eraser. The eraser was originally made of natural rubber.
Use an eraser! :)
You would use a scale to measure the mass of an eraser. Place the eraser on the scale and read the measurement displayed.
Turn your tablet pen over and use the eraser just like the eraser on a pencil. :)
As you use an eraser, the friction between the eraser and the paper causes the eraser material to wear away. The worn material forms eraser shavings, which are left behind as you erase, making the eraser smaller over time.
