A person on a merry-go-round is constantly accelerating away from the center, because he is prevented by the horse or bench from continuing on a straight path. His velocity constantly changes in direction.

Why does the acceleration of a merry go round change even though the speed stays the same?

The acceleration of a merry-go-round changes because acceleration measures a change in velocity, not just speed. In the case of the merry-go-round, even though the speed may stay constant, the direction of the velocity is constantly changing as the object moves in a circular path, resulting in acceleration due to the change in direction.


How can you accelerate if your speed does not change?

A change in the vector or direction that you are traveling is considered an acceleration; even if you don't change speed. This would be the case for going around in a merry-go-round, e.g. You are accelerating (changing direction), but the speed is constant (velocity is changing).
