Yes. 'Acceleration' means either speed or direction is changing. If direction is changing,
then there is acceleration, even if speed is constant.
No, an object moving at a constant speed cannot be accelerating. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time, so if the speed is constant, there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.
An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction of motion is changing. The object is not speeding up or slowing down but is constantly changing its direction, which results in acceleration towards the center of the circle.
If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.
No. An object is accelerating if it is changing speed or direction of travel. Since the person in question is running at a constant speed in a straight line, they are not accelerating.
No, if an object's speed is constant, then it is not accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object's velocity, which includes both speed and direction. If an object's speed is constant, it means there is no change in velocity and therefore no acceleration.
An object with a constant (vector)velocity is not accelerating. An object with a constand (scalar)speed can actually be accelerating, a car with a constant speed that passes around a corner is changing direction and is subjected to a lateral acceleration.

No. Acceleration is any change of velocity.But its speed can be constant.
Changing, varying or accelerating
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
Since acceleration involves a change in velocity, and object might be accelerating even though its speed is constant.
Not accelerating. It could be stationary or moving at a constant speed.
Yes. The simplest example is an object moving at a constant speed in a circle.
