"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction. If the direction of your motion
changes, then there is acceleration, even if your speed doesn't change.
"Acceleration" means a change of speed or direction of motion, or both.If you change direction ... like turning a corner ... then there is acceleration,even though your speed is constant.Anything traveling on a circular track, even at a constant speed, has constantacceleration.
Yes, in order to accelerate, you need to change your speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so increasing or decreasing your speed is necessary to accelerate in a specific direction.
One way to not accelerate an object is by trying to reduce its speed. In physics, a change in speed or in direction is called acceleration. One way not to accelerate an object is to change its name.
Your speed can accelerate even though your speed does not change if you are changing direction or accelerating in a circular motion. In these cases, even though your speed remains constant, your velocity changes due to the change in direction, causing acceleration.

yes an acceleration is a change in speed and when you go around a corner you change your speed.
No, a particle cannot accelerate if its speed is constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then the acceleration is zero.
In physics, "acceleration" means change of velocity.
To accelerate without changing speed, you can change direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes speed and direction. For example, a car moving at a constant speed on a curved path is constantly changing direction and therefore accelerating, even though its speed remains constant.
No, an object cannot accelerate and have a constant speed at the same time. Acceleration is a change in velocity, which includes speed or direction. If an object has a constant speed, it means there is no acceleration occurring.
A situation where gravity causes a change in velocity is when an object is dropped from a height. As the object falls, gravity acts on it, causing it to accelerate towards the ground. The change in velocity happens because gravity exerts a constant force on the object, causing it to increase its speed over time.
No, a car does not accelerate when rounding a curve at a constant speed. Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed or direction. In this case, the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, not accelerating.
