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?

Acceleration is always towards the center. In other words, for a person on the merry-go-round, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time; therefore the acceleration changes.


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).
