How are the particles of objects affected when their heat is increased?

First, your question's wording is a little off. You don't increase the heat of an object you increase the temperature of an object.
What is the difference?
Well, heat is defined as the transfer of thermal energy between two objects and temperature is defined as the potential of an object to transfer that energy.
You can think of temperature as force and heat as movement. The higher the temperature, the more 'force' an object has to push thermal energy away from itself. Thermal energy always moves from hotter objects to cooler ones. Therefore, heat is said to flow from hot to cold.
Only one more definition before you get your answer. Thermal energy is defined as translational kinetic energy. Ok, you need to know what that means, right? Its simple, translational means from one location to another, kinetic means motion and of course energy means potential to do work. Put that all together and you find that the phrase 'translational kinetic energy' is a sophisticated way of saying 'the vibrations of the particles within an object'.
So there is the answer to your question: As you 'heat' an object, you increase the objects temperature and the objects thermal energy level, which means you cause the objects particles to vibrate more.

Which type of heat transfer is by direct contract?
The type of heat transfer by direct contact is called conduction. Heat is transferred through a solid material or between two objects in direct contact with each other. This occurs as the particles in the material or objects collide and transfer energy to each other.
Heat energy can change a liquid to a gas during a process called?
The process of heat causing a liquid to change to a gas is called evaporation. The heat increases the speed of the particles within the substance, making them expand and diverge. Once this occurs, the increased energy within the particles causes the substance to change stages into a gas.
When you the particles do this to any substances the particles gain Energy?
heat
Is it true or false that forces between particles in a solid keep them from changing position?
The forces between particles in a solid that keep them from position is a inter molecular bond, That why it take a fair amount of heat to break the bonds of a solid.
How is the pressure affected by the collision of gas particles?
The more the collisons the higher the pressure, the lesser amount of collisons the lower the pressure.
Does heat flow up to down?
No. Heat is not affected by gravity. Heat flows from hotter objects to colder objects.
When heat is absorbed by an object the speed of the particles in an object is?
increased.
When heat is absorbed by an object the speed of the particles in the object is?
increased.
What are two factors that determine an object's thermal energy?
An objects temperature and the number of particles
How is the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter affected by change in temperature?
As temperature is increased the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter increases.When temperature decreases the kinetic energy of them decreases. This is because temperature, or rather heat, is itself energy
Why does transfer of heat energy take place between objects?
Because transfer of heat requires particles, so solid objects will be better at conducting heat than gas.
Does everything have heat?
yes everything has heat
How does heat conduction work?
When energy is transfered to something which conducts heat, the particles in the solid object start to vibrate. As more energy is transfered to the particles, it spreads across the solid objects particles. The hotter the solid, the more it's particles vibrate.

What is the relationship between energy and temperature change?
When heat is transferred in a space the average energy of the particles - the temperature of the substance - is affected, by increasing or decreasing. The change in temperature depends on the number of particles affected.
What is the transfer of heat that occurs when particles move between objects or areas of different temperature?
convection
How is the kinetic energy of a constituent particle in any matter affected by a change in temperature?
As temperature is increased the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter increases.When temperature decreases the kinetic energy of them decreases. This is because temperature, or rather heat, is itself energy
