A skydiver jumps out of an airplane. On his way down, he opens up his parachute and he slows down. His hands are very cold, so he rubs them together to warm them

When he rubs his hands together, he is creating friction. Friction is the resistance to motion of one thing moving relative to another thing. Friction creates the warmth. I hope this was the information you needed!
