-- 'Velocity' is the rate at which position is changing, and the direction of the change. -- 'Acceleration' is the rate at which velocity is changing, and the direction of the change.
Velocity has direction as well as magnitude. Speed only has magnitude. So the velocity of something can change without its speed changing. This is what is happening when something is going in a circle.
Reverse the direction of the component.
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.
Consider velocity as consisting of a speed, and a direction. If any of the two changes - that is, if either the speed or the direction changes - then the velocity changes.
No. It is possible to change direction without changing speed. However, it is not possible to change direction without changing velocity.
Uniform velocity means the velocity is not changing. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If velocity isn't changing, the rate of change is zero.

The process of velocity change is called acceleration.
Yes. Velocity is rate (or speed) in a given direction. If you change your direction but not your rate (or speed) then you have changed your velocity without changing speed.
Yes it does. In physics, the term velocity means both speed and direction of motion, not just speed, so if you change direction you change velocity.
The steering wheel can change the car's direction of motion, without changing speed.
