The speed of a river can affect the time it takes a boat to cross it. If the river is flowing faster, it will push the boat downstream, making the crossing take less time. Conversely, if the river is flowing slower, it will slow down the boat's progress, making the crossing take more time.

Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.Yes, at high speed it takes longer to change your direction, for example.
Is acceleration the fastest kind of speed?
No. An acceleration is not a speed. It is a rate of change of speed - that is, a change of speed, divided by the time it takes to change the speed.
Suppose you roll a ball off a table top will the time to hit the ground depend on the speed?
If you are talking about the speed at which you roll the ball along the table before it falls of, it will not affect the time it takes to reach the floorAlso, if you are starting your measuring of time from when you started the roll until it hits the ground or if you are starting the measurement from when it falls of the table until it hits the ground will make a difference.If you are just measuring the time it takes from when it left the table until it hits the floor, the speed of the roll will have no effect.
What is the acceleration if the speed is increased to 8 meters per second?
Not enough information. You also need to know:* The initial speed * How long it takes to speed up If you divide the difference in speed by the time it takes to speed up, you get the average acceleration for that time period.

How would decreasing the time it takes you to run a a certain distance affect your speed?
It would increase your speed. Speed = distance / time so if you decrease the time whilst keeping the distance the same, distance/time increases.
