Heat is thought of as the random kinetic energy of a substance. So if a cup of water gets hotter, the molecules in the water speed up. Heat can cause particles in a substance to move around, to vibrate, or to spin.

Do gas particles speed up or slow down when heated?

Gas particles speed up when heated because the increase in temperature provides more energy to the particles, which causes them to move faster and with greater kinetic energy. This increased speed results in higher pressure within the gas container.

When an object increases in temperature do the particles speed up or slow down?

They speed up. Heat is actually molecular motion. Absolute zero (−459.67°F) is the temperature where the particles have no motion at all.
