Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object over time. Take note that velocity is a vector quantity which means that it has magnitude and direction...
Thus...
An object undergoes acceleration when:
1. there is a change in the magnitude of the velocity (speed) of an object.
2. there is a change in direction of an object.
3. it changes both in direction and magnitude.
when it is acted on by a force
It is the velocity that increases.
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
F = M A Acceleration is directly proportional to force. When force applied to an object is reduced to one third, the object's acceleration is reduced to one third.
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased. To put it as it is often put: Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma): the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
when it is acted on by a force
It is the velocity that increases.
-- When the net force on an object is not zero, the object undergoes accelerated motion.-- The magnitude of the acceleration is the ratio of the net force to the object's mass.-- The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
If, as you say, its acceleration is "constant", then the average is exactly equal to that constant.
An object in uniform circular motion undergoes constant acceleration but moves at constant "speed".Constant "velocity" means no acceleration.
When the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object undergoes acceleration. Its direction is the direction of the net effective force, and its magnitude is the magnitude of the net effective force divided by the object's mass.
It undergoes acceleration, its speed decreases, the magnitude of its velocity decreases, and it takes more time to arrive at its final destination.

Both. Acceleration is a change in speed.
Weight is an objects mass times the gravitational acceleration it undergoes. For a 5.0kg mass this would be 49N which equals 11.02 pounds.
Weight is the mass of an object times the gravitational acceleration it undergoes. The gravitational acceleration of Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. So in this case 70/9.8 = 7.14 kg
No, any turning object undergoes acceleration because the direction is always changing. The acceleration vector points into the circle of rotation, and the velocity vector is a tangent line to the circle at any given point. The equation is Centripetal Acceleration=v^2/r
