No. An acceleration is not a speed. It is a rate of change of speed - that is, a change of speed, divided by the time it takes to change the speed.
Constant speed means that speed doesn't change. Constant acceleration means that acceleration doesn't change. (If the acceleration is anything but zero, speed WILL change.)
Acceleration is the change in velocity ("speed") over time.
A change in speed is a change in velocity - so, a change in speed is an example of acceleration! Acceleration may be positive or negative. Negative acceleration is sometimes called deceleration. When a force acts on an object; it may change the object's acceleration (speed, direction, or both).
In popular usage, "acceleration" means an increase in speed. In physics, any change in velocity is called an "acceleration".In popular usage, "acceleration" means an increase in speed.

A change in speed (and/or direction) is acceleration.
No. An acceleration is not a speed. It is a rate of change of speed - that is, a change of speed, divided by the time it takes to change the speed.
Constant speed means that speed doesn't change. Constant acceleration means that acceleration doesn't change. (If the acceleration is anything but zero, speed WILL change.)
Average acceleration = Change in speed/time so Time = Change in speed/Average acceleration
Acceleration is the time rate of change of speed. Acceleration = speed/time.
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Motion is about speed of location change, acceleration is about speed change.
By definition acceleration is the change in velocity (speed).
Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change)
Acceleration is the change in velocity ("speed") over time.
A change in speed is a change in velocity - so, a change in speed is an example of acceleration! Acceleration may be positive or negative. Negative acceleration is sometimes called deceleration. When a force acts on an object; it may change the object's acceleration (speed, direction, or both).
Acceleration measures the change in speed
