Yes. 'Acceleration' means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,
then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.

What is an example of an accelerating object but moves in a constant speed?
An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerating at a constant speed?
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.

An accelerating object is one that is changing in either speed or direction. Thus any object that is turning is accelerating while maintaining a constant speed.
An object cannot be accelerating if it has a constant speedtrue or false?
An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating. An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.
Is a jogger moving at a constant speed accelerating?
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
How is it possible to be accelerating at a constant speed?
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
If an object is accelerating can its velocity be constant?
No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
Speed is usually not constant usually object has what type of speed?
Changing, varying or accelerating
If the net force on an object is zero then the object is?
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
Can a body have constant speed and still be accelerating give example?
Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
How can you be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed?
You can be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed if you change directions.
When is a time where speed does not change but the object is still accelerating?
Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. Velocity is a vector. It has a magnitude ( speed ) and a directio. If either the speed or the direction of motion changes the object is accelerating. Example; an object moving in a circle at constant speed is accelerating because its direction is continually changing.
Are you accelerating if you are traveling in a constant direction with constant speed and explain?
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.
Which term refers to the speed at which a falling object stops accelerating and begins to fall at a constant rate?
terminal
