Which energy transformation occurs when you rub your hands together to warm them?(1 point)

kinetic energy to thermal energy
kinetic energy to thermal energy

thermal energy to kinetic energy
thermal energy to kinetic energy

kinetic energy to radiant energy
kinetic energy to radiant energy

thermal energy to potential energy

1 answer

The correct answer is: kinetic energy to thermal energy.

When you rub your hands together, the motion (kinetic energy) generates heat (thermal energy) through friction, warming your hands.
