Here's the breakdown:
* Motion implies a change in position. So, if an object is moving, it has a speed, which is how fast it's changing position.
* Speed is the rate of change of position. So, if an object's speed changes, it's changing its motion.
Therefore, it's not that motion *affects* speed; rather, motion and speed are intrinsically linked.
Here's why this is a bit of a wordplay issue:
* If an object is moving, it has a speed. So, motion *implies* a speed.
* If an object's speed changes, it's changing its motion. So, changes in speed *describe* changes in motion.
Think of it this way:
* You can't have motion without speed.
* You can't change an object's speed without changing its motion.
