This is not strictly true; an object in orbit, going in a circular motion, at least from a human perspective, is not accelerating.
However, any object going in a circular motion that is not orbiting another object is being contained in a circle artificially, either by a tether or by thrust, that would go in a straight line if no other force were acting on it, is experiencing "acceleration," which is not necessarily "going faster" as might be assumed.
An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing because its 'direction' is constantly changing due to the circular motion. The speed may be unchanging say, 5 miles per hour but the direction may be going form East to North to West to South and then back to East, say in counter clockwise motion.
Direction
True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.
speed... this is said to be uniform circular motion
In physics, acceleration is defined as a change in velocity. Velocity is the measurement of the rate (or speed) and direction of an object. Therefore, an object is "accelerating" when it changes direction while maintaining the same rate (or speed).

Direction
acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.
Circular Motion -a motion along a circular path or the motion of an object in a circular Example -blades of a ceiling fan when the fan is switched on. or The motion of body along the circular path is called circular motion
When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion while traveling in a circular path, this means it has a constant speed. When an object is moving in a circular path, this indicates it is constantly being pulled towards the center of the circle.

if an object moves along a circular path, the only change in its velocity is due to the change in the direction of the motion. The motion of the object moving along the circular path is, which is a uniform circular motion, is therefore an accelerated motion:):):):/

Accelerating.
You would say that the object in motion is accelerating. Or you can say that the object's velocity is increasing.
