How does a vehicle run fast on pressing the accelerator?
Upon pressing the accelerator pedal, the fuel/air mixture supplied to the engine increases, which results in a larger explosion and more power, thus propelling the vehicle at a faster speed
What causes cars to move and stop?
A car will move when the gas pedal is engaged. You can control the speed of the car by the pressure you put on the gas pedal. The brake pedal will either slow the car down or stop the car entirely.
What would cause a rattling noise like rocks in a can when pressing on the gas pedal at a low speed?

What causes a 2003 Kia Spectra gas pedal to stick?
Remove the air cleaner duct hose.Take some gumout spray and clean the throttle plate. (large flapper)They will build up with a black gum which causes the pedal to stick off idle. If it sticks at speed it may be a bad cable... get it replaced.
When I am cruising down the road not pressing my gas I notice that my car is losing it's power then you press on the gas and then it seems like your car is getting the power back why is this?
Pressing on the gas pedal sends more gas to the combustion chamber for the combustion process which sends more pressure to the engine for your car to pick up speed.
Suppose that you are in a moving car and the motor stops. You step on the brakes and slow the car to half speed. If you release your foot will the car speed up or continue at half speed or slow down?
Assuming you are not pressing down on the gas, when you release the pedal, the car will slow down over time and evetualy come to a stop. Unless you are going down a hill, in which case you will speed up.
What must happen for a car's kinetic energy to increase?
K.E = 1/mv2, where m is mass in kg and v is speed in m/s. By pressing down on the gas pedal, the speed of the car will increase, which will increase its kinetic energy. Note: Even though the symbol v is used in the equation, it represents speed and not velocity (speed and direction). Kinetic energy is not a vector quantity.
