Question

If we rub our palms, they become warm. Why?


Open in App
Solution

  1. When we rub our hands together, the irregularities of the surfaces of our palms repeatedly rub against each other.
  2. This causes friction to occur between the palms.
  3. This friction leads to the production of heat, which makes our hands warm.
