Arrow another one on v1

I'm finding the concept of v1 a bit confusing. According to my manual v1 increases with t/o weight. My question is that doen't it take longer to accelerate a fully loaded aircraft and to bring it to a full stop due to its momentum. That in turn should reduce v1. This point can be made with the fact that v1 decreases with high ambient temperatures. Again due to reduced engine performance it should take the a/c longer to accelerate to a predetermined speed.
I think I need a bit of training on this topic.
Also why is Vmcg not affected by xwind component
