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.
Direction
The rate at which the speed or direction of its motion is changing.
If the velocity is zero, the object is not moving. So if it moves at all, it is changing direction.
against motion For example, if I push a box to the left, kinetic friction is going to the left.
A rotating object.

Yes. Velocity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity. If speed is constant but the direction is changing, then the velocity is changing. An example is a car turning a corner without slowing down.

Yes. 'Acceleration' means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.
This can involve changing the shape of matter, or changing the speed or direction of an object.
