the friction increases the kinetic energy and thermal energy

Explanation:

When you rub your hands together, your muscles provide the force to move your hands. This movement gives your hands kinetic energy. As your hands rub, there is friction between them. Friction opposes the motion and causes some of the kinetic energy to be converted. This conversion results in thermal energy, which we feel as heat.

Answer:

When you rub your hands, your hands have kinetic energy. Friction between them converts some kinetic energy into thermal energy (heat).
