A force of contact is friction. Always, friction works against the relative velocity of two surfaces. Friction works against the relative velocity of the two hands when we rub them together. In order to break the bonds created by friction, energy is required. We are aware that the average molecular kinetic energy of a body is its temperature. The molecules begin to oscillate freely when the bonds are broken, raising their average kinetic energy, or temperature. Answer is heat
