kinetic energy to radiant energy

thermal energy to potential energy
thermal energy to potential energy

kinetic energy to thermal energy
kinetic energy to thermal energy

thermal energy to kinetic energy

1 answer

The correct response is:

kinetic energy to thermal energy

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