Question

use the dropdown menu to make a statement that explains how kinetic energy and temperature of an object are related
kinetic energy can be transformed into by rubbing your hands together. this occurs because the microscopic particles in together
potential energy
heat energy
electrical
light

Explanation:

When you rub your hands together, the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the motion is converted into thermal (heat) energy. This is due to the friction between the microscopic particles in your hands. Friction causes the particles to move more vigorously, which is related to an increase in temperature (since temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance). Potential energy is stored energy (e.g., gravitational or elastic), electrical energy involves the flow of electrons, and light energy is electromagnetic radiation. None of these other forms of energy are produced by simply rubbing hands together in the context of the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature.

Answer:

heat energy
