Any object consists of particles. In a solid they are close together and do not move much. In a liquid the particles can move more freely past each other as they have more heat energy. In a gas the heat energy is largest and the particles move fastest.
By heating any object we add heat energy to it. This speeds up the particle movement as the energy increases. It also expands the bonds between the particles and, if this goes far enough, the object changes state. (Ice melts when heated from solid to liquid)

Would you expect the motions of particles in all state of matter to increase or decrease as ths temperature increase?
The general tendency is for the average speed of particles to increase as temperature increases.But please note that temperature can't be DEFINED simply as the average speed; it is more closely related to the average ENERGY per particle. And the energy for each particle depends on the SQUARE of the speed; but it also depends on the mass of the particle.
What will happen if you increase the mass in light?
Photons ('particles' of light) have zero rest mass. When they move at the speed of light (the normal situation) they do have momentum due to the relativistic nature of the Universe. If we were to hypothesize light particles with mass the development of the Universe would be entirely different.
What factor will increase the speed of a sound wave in the air?
Speed of sound would increase as the temperature of the air increases Speed of sound increases as humidity of air increases Speed of sound is affected by the density of the air. As density increases velocity of sound decreases
What happens to particles in a ball?
Energy is lost. According to this the speed and direction would change
Adding energy or increasing the speed of the particles at very low pressure in a solid would cause?
to either melt of explode

What would cause the pressure of a gas to increase?
An increase in temperature or a decrease in volume would call the pressure to increase. Apex- increasing the number of gas particles
What mechanism would be used to increase speed?
A bevel gear is used to increase speed.
How would you describe the change in the arrangement of particles as heat energy and temperature increase?
When heat is added, the arrangement of the particle (the Entropy of the system) will become more disorganized and Entropy will increase. When heat is taken away, the arrangement of the particles will become more organized and Entropy will decrease.
What the increasing temperature doas to the particles and how this affects the number of collisions?
Increase in temperature cause the particles to move faster, which in turn would increase the number of collisions. If the volume did not change and the temperature increased, the pressure would also increase.

Photons ('particles' of light) have zero rest mass. When they move at the speed of light (the normal situation) they do have momentum due to the relativistic nature of the Universe. If we were to hypothesize light particles with mass the development of the Universe would be entirely different.
Why does increasing the concentration of a reactants increase the reaction rate?
Because it increases the probability of collisions
How would decreasing the time it took you to run a certain distance affect your speed?
It would increase your speed.
Will particles slow down if you add heat to them?
No. Actually they would speed up.
If turns of winding were added to an inductor it inductance would?
... increase.
What would happen to a rubber band if weight is added to it?
It would stretch, and its tension would increase.
How would deceasing the time it take you to run a certain distance affect your speed?
it would increase your speed in direct proportion. If time is halved, for example, speed would double
