no, it does not because speed is only a measure of how fast something is travelling and bears no relation to the size, shaped or weight of an object (speed = distance/time). However, mass does affect momentum (momentum = mass x velocity) so an object with a high mass will take more force to stop. Mass also affects the amount of kinetic energy (kinetic relating to motion) an object has. (K.E = 1/2 x mass x velocity2)

A change in a objects speed has a what effect on its kinetic energy than a change in mass?
Doubling the speed. This is because the (non-relativistic) kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
What has a greater effect on an objects kentic energy doubling its mass or doulbing it speeed?
Speed (KE goes up by the square of the velocity).
What is gravity's effect on motion?
Gravity pulls objects together and towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Gravity will speed up objects falling towards the earth and slow down rising objects.
How does the mass of a pendulum effect the speed it goes?
As long as the mass on the end is much greater than the mass of the string it's hanging from, the mass has no effect at all on the speed or the period.
How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?
The car's mass should have no effect on that speed.
What type of effect does an objects speed have on its kinetic energy than a change in its mass?
KE = .5 m v2
A change in a objects speed has a what effect on its kinetic energy than a change in mass?
Doubling the speed. This is because the (non-relativistic) kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
Why does gravity affect speed?
Because the effect of gravity is to cause forces between every two objects that have mass, and force on an object generally affects its speed.
What has a greater effect on an objects kentic energy doubling its mass or doulbing it speeed?
Speed (KE goes up by the square of the velocity).
What had the most effect on an objects Inertia?
Its mass
What has most effect on an objects inertia?
Mass
What experiment of Galileo's involved cannonballs?
Galileo's experiment to show that mass had little effect on the speed of falling objects involved two cannonballs of different sizes being dropped from a certain height. This showed that, in a vacuum at least, falling objects fall at the same speed no matter their mass.
What increase as an objects kinetic energy increases?
Either the mass of the object or the speed of the object. However if the object is at rest, the increase of the mass will have no effect on its resting kinetic energy, which is zero.

One factor determining the effect of gravity on objects is their?
... mass.
