According to the "Physics Classroom" website (refer to the link, below), an object changing its speed, whether increasing or decreasing, is said to be "accelerating".

What is an object doing when it is accelerating?
That means that either its speed, or its direction, or both, are changing.
Traveling without changing speed?
When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
Can an object with constant speed be accelerating?
Yes. 'Acceleration' means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.
When an object reaches its termainal speed its acceleration is zero right?
Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
What is an accelerating object?
The rate at which the speed or direction of its motion is changing.

Which rate at which an object changing in position?
It is speed or velocity.
Can an object with constant speed be accelerating?
Yes. 'Acceleration' means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.
When an object reaches its termainal speed its acceleration is zero right?
Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
Speed is usually not constant usually object has what type of speed?
Changing, varying or accelerating
What is an accelerating object?
The rate at which the speed or direction of its motion is changing.
What object is accelerating?
The rate at which the speed or direction of its motion is changing.
What key words tell you the object is accelerating?
Changing speed.
Is it possible for a nonzero net force to act on an object without the object's speed changing?
Yes, it is.
If the speed of an object does not changed then the object is traveling at a?
If speed does not change then the object is moving with constant speed. when object moves in a circle its speed does not remains constant. Speed of object remains constant only if it moves along linear path.
Why does the acceleration of an object affect the speed?
Acceleration is simply a measurement of how the speed is changing, over time.
