An object speeds up when a force is applied to it in the direction of motion, causing it to accelerate. This force can come from various sources, such as gravity, a motor, or a push or pull from another object. The amount of acceleration depends on the magnitude of the force and the mass of the object.
Not exactly - momentum is more the build up of speed instead of speed itself. Speed is a measure of how fast you are moving, whereas momentum is how mcuh speed you're using.. If that makes sense. As defined by dictionary.com, momentum is force or speed of movement; impetus, as of a physical object or course of events.
Friction always opposes motion, so it can never speed up an object. Friction slows down or stops an object's motion by acting in the opposite direction. To speed up an object, a force stronger than friction, like a push or a pull, is needed.
No. Intertia is a measure of how easily an object's speed can be changed. So if it takes a certain amount of force or energy to speed an object up to a given speed, it'll take the same force/energy to slow it down to zero again, or it'll take the same energy to double its speed from that given level. Hope that makes sense.
One example of a non-contact force that can make something speed up is gravity. When an object is in free fall, gravity pulls it downward, causing it to accelerate and increase in speed. Another example is magnetic force, where two magnetic objects can repel or attract each other, causing one object to speed up towards the other.
Mass!! Weight is the measure of how strongly gravity pulls an object, mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
Acceleration
An object can only slow down, speed up, or change direction, if there is a net force acting on the object.

Potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy not the build up of speed in a moving object.

More intertia makes it so more energy is needed in order to change the speed.

The speed of the object and its direction of motion.
