The speed may, or may not, change. Acceleration means that the velocity changes; this means that either the speed changes, or the direction.

What happens to the speed of a moving object when it accelerates?
An object is accelerating if any of these things are happening . . .-- its speed is increasing-- its speed is decreasing-- its direction is changing.The object may be accelerating even if its speed isn't changing.Acceleration does not mean "speeding up".
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.
What happens when an object reaches terminal velocity?
It stops accelerating, and falls the rest of the way at constant speed.
When is an object not accelerating?
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
An object that is accelerating may be?
An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.

What happens to the speed of an object over time if the motion of the object is accelerating at first?
The speed of the object reaches a level such that it obliterates the graph above and possibly puts the answer in the box below!
What happens when an object reaches terminal velocity?
It stops accelerating, and falls the rest of the way at constant speed.

An object that is accelerating may be?
An object that is accelerating may be slowing down, gaining speed, and changing direction.
When an object is accelerating What is its speed?
It will have increase in speed with increase in time
What is when an object is accelerating its speed is?
It will have increase in speed with increase in time
What is it when an object is accelerating its speed?
It will have increase in speed with increase in time
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.
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.
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.
