Why force is equals to product of mass and acceleration?
It goes to the heart of Newtons laws: an object in motion will tend to stay in motion unless an outside force is applied. Force is just a measurement of how much an object 'wants' to stay in motion. The total energy (velocity and mass) of an object measures the resistance to change an object has. Given a perfect system two cars of the same mass moving at the same speed heading towards each other will collide and stop - they cancel each other out. Force is a way of saying what energy it will take to cancel the motion of an object out. You can use a slower, heavier object to counter the motion OR a faster, lighter object to cancel the motion. F=MV and not F=M+V is because the acceleration is to the whole object (applied all over) you can't add a scalar and a vector (mass is the scalar.) You can however multiply a vector by a scalar.
The faster particles move the more energy they have?
In mechanics, a study within physics, when we talk about the energy of motion, we are talking about kinetic energy. When we look at an object's kinetic energy, it's energy of motion, we see it is related to how much mass the object has, and how fast it is moving. Naturally, there is an expression or formula for this: Ek = 1/2 mv2 The kinetic energy (Ek) equals one half the mass (m) times the square of the velocity (v).
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to its motion or movement. For instance if a car drives into a wall the energy of its movement is what destroys the wall, That energy is kinetic energy. Note: Heat is also a form of Kinetic energy because heat is the movement (vibration energy) of atoms or molecules.
Is temperature a measure of the average potential energy of each particle within an object?
It would not be the potential energy because potential is the measure of energy that is not in motion yet. When you measure the temperature and it reads 200 degrees YOU WILL FEEL IT because the objects molecules are in motion. If you measured its potential energy at this point of 200 degrees it would probably be close to zero if not zero. When you measure the temperature you are measuring the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is the measure of how much energy the molecules have that are in motion.
Is temperature or thermal energy dependent upon the mass or amount of the substance?
It depends on its mass since the bigger the object is, the higher its heat content. Is also dependent on its temperature change since the particles of matter are in motion and the energy depends on speed thus, the faster the motion of the particles in the object, the higher the heat content is.
Energy that measures how much work or force or energy an object has stored in it?
That is called potential energy.
How much kintic energy an object has?
it has 5000000 motion to it #study island
Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe?
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.

What is a measure of how much matter is in object?
Its the mass that measures the matter in an object

How much energy does an object hold?
it depends on the object. be specific............
How much does kinetic energy produce?
The kinetic energy of an object of mass M kg moving at velocity V meters/sec is 1/2 x M x V2 Joules
What can acceleration be described as?
Acceleration can be described as the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It measures how quickly the object's speed or direction is changing. Therefore, it quantifies how much an object's motion is increasing or decreasing.
