Motion and speed are synonymous terms, with just a slight difference of emphasis. Speed suggests fast motion. Other than that, they are the same thing. Speed is a form of motion, so in that sense, motion does crreate speed. Obviously, an object that is not moving has a speed of zero.

How are speed and motion related terms?
Speed is a scalar, motion (or velocity) is a vector.
What is the difference between constant motion and accelerated motion?
Constant motion has a constant speed, and accelerated motion has an accelerating speed! [getting faster] :)
Does motion affect the speed of an object?
Short answer: yes. An object in "motion" has a "speed" simply by virtue of its being in motion. An object possessing a speed is inherently in motion. In this sense they have similar meanings. Speed is a rate of change in position. Motion is a change in position (in progress). In this sense, speed is more specific than motion in that speed has a quantitative value. Conversely, there can be no "speed" without "motion". To be complete, "velocity" is even more specific than speed in that it contains a rate of change in position together with a direction. That is, speed is a "scalar" quantity, and "velocity" is a vector quantity.
Acceleration involves a change in what?
It involves the change in velocity, which is a vector quantity, meaning that it is also the change in speed.
How are the motion and speed related?
Motion is a term describing movement. Speed is the objective measure of that movement, instead of a vague 'fast' or 'slow' motion. ==================
How does energy create motion and change?
This can involve changing the shape of matter, or changing the speed or direction of an object.
Does energy cause motion and create change?
This can involve changing the shape of matter, or changing the speed or direction of an object.
How is motion and speed related?
speed is a measure of the rate of motion.
Does motion occur when there is a change in speed?
Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.
What is speed of motion?
The average speed of motion is when speed is changing. Speed equals total distance divided by total travel time. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object's motion.
Does motion occur when there's a change in speed?
Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.
What kind of motion does the speed and direction not change?
Acceleration in motion refers to a change in speed or direction of that object's motion. So a type of motion in which speed and direction do not change is a motion in which the acceleration is constant (i.e. unchanging).
How are speed and motion related terms?
Speed is a scalar, motion (or velocity) is a vector.
What is the difference between constant motion and accelerated motion?
Constant motion has a constant speed, and accelerated motion has an accelerating speed! [getting faster] :)
What is rate of motion?
Speed is the rate of motion.
What type of science will study motion and speed?
Motion and speed are parts of the study of physics.
Which two factors determine speed of motion?
Speed of motion is determined by time and distance.
