Change in speed (more precisely change in velocity) is called acceleration.

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.
What distinguishes the measurements of speed from that of velocity and acceleration?
Velocity = speed, and the direction in which it's happening Acceleration = rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing
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 cars are changing direction they are also changing what?
They are changing velocity. Velocity is the measure of speed and direction
Can a car move with changing velocity while maintaining constant speed?
Constant speed around a curve is changing velocity.
Is changing direction really the same as changing speed?
No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.

Can a body have constant velocity but changing speed?
No, not at all possible. But constant speed with changing velocity is possible.
If you speed is not changing but your direction is changing are you accelerating?
Yes; acceleration is any change in velocity - speed, or direction.

Velocity = speed, and the direction in which it's happening Acceleration = rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing

Can a car move with changing velocity while maintaining constant speed?
Constant speed around a curve is changing velocity.
Does acceleration refers to increasing speed decreasing speed or changing direction?
Increasing speed
What is the Changing the speed of the wave?
its amplitude
Examples of constant speed but changing acceleration?
A body moving with constant speed in a circular path has acceleration changing at every point.
