First of all, "acceleration" does not mean "speeding up". It means: any change in
the speed or the direction of motion.
When the driver hits the gas or the brake on a straight road, there is acceleration,
because the speed of the car is changing.
When the car goes around any bend in the road, even if its speed is constant,
there is acceleration, because its direction is changing.

How do you accelerate without changing speed?
To accelerate without changing speed, you can change direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes speed and direction. For example, a car moving at a constant speed on a curved path is constantly changing direction and therefore accelerating, even though its speed remains constant.
How can you accelerate while walking without changing your speed?
To accelerate while walking without changing your speed, you can increase your stride length or frequency. By taking longer steps or moving your legs faster, you can generate more force to propel yourself forward without actually changing your walking speed.
How can a car accelerate if its speed is constant?
A car can accelerate even if its speed is constant by changing its direction or increasing its velocity. For example, if a car is moving in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction, resulting in acceleration. Additionally, if a car is moving at a constant speed and then speeds up, it is also accelerating.
What are 3 ways something can accelerate?
Three ways something can accelerate are 1. increase speed 2. change direction 3. both.
Can a body accelerate without speeding up or slowing down?
Yes, a body can accelerate without changing its speed if it changes direction but not its speed, such as when moving in a circular path at a constant speed. In this case, the body is still accelerating because its velocity (direction of motion) is changing.

How does a skater not accelerate?
By not changing their speed. Technically, this means also not changing their velocity, which includes direction. So, you don't accelerate if you skate in a straight line at a constant speed. Otherwise, you are accelerating, even if your speed does not change.
Why do you consider a moving object to accelerate even when it slows down or chnges direction without changing speeed?
Because that's the definition of "accelerate". "Accelerate" doesn't mean "speed up", although that's how everybody who rides in a car uses the word. "Accelerate" means "change the speed or the direction of motion, or both".

For example, if a car is moving in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction, resulting in acceleration.

When an object accelerate what can it do?
When an object accelerates it can change its speed or direction of motion. When it accelerates without changing its direction of motion, it can cover any distance in less time.
Can a body accelerate without speeding up or slowing down?
Yes, a body can accelerate without changing its speed if it changes direction but not its speed, such as when moving in a circular path at a constant speed. In this case, the body is still accelerating because its velocity (direction of motion) is changing.
Does a car accelerate rounding a curve at a constant speed?
No, a car does not accelerate when rounding a curve at a constant speed. Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed or direction. In this case, the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, not accelerating.
What is the difference between constant and non constant speed?
Constant speed means the object is moving at the same rate without changing, while non-constant speed means the object is changing its speed over time. In constant speed, the object moves at a steady pace, while in non-constant speed, the object may accelerate, decelerate, or change directions.
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.
What ways can an object accelerate in terms of speed and direction?
an object can accelerate both up and down
