No, rubbing your hands together will not set them on fire. Friction between your hands generates heat, but it is not enough to ignite them.

When you rub your hands together which energy produce?

When you rub your hands together, you are primarily converting mechanical energy into thermal energy. The friction between your hands creates heat as a result of the molecules in your hands being set into motion by the rubbing action, which causes them to collide and generate heat.


Why does rubbing of a matchstick on a rough surface lights up?

The rough surface causes a lot of friction when the matchstick rubs against it. Friction causes heat (try this for yourself by rubbing the palms of your hands together- they feel hot. Then consider how smooth our skin is in comparison to the rough surface, so you appreciate how much heat it generated.) The heat causes the wood of the matchstick to set alight. Actually, the head of the matchstick is coated in a more flammable substance (phosphorus), which makes lighting even easier.


Are ghosts flammable?

No, their just energy. If you tried to set a ghost on fire it would just more than likely set the rest of your house on fire. How bout you try blessing you home or where ever the ghost is. If you are more dominant then the ghost (if it is a spirit and not a demon) then it would more then likely go away. Its your place, take control.
