By changing direction. Acceleration is a change in velocity. Since velocity takes direction into account, while speed does not, an object can having a changing velocity even while its speed remains the same. And while that object is changing its velocity by changing its direction, it is accelerating, regardless of its speed remaining constant.
For example, if a car is driving north at constant speed of 20mph, its speed is 20mph, while its velocity is 20mph towards the north. At this point, the car is not accelerating. Now if the car turns a corner to head east while maintaining its speed of 20mph, its velocity is changing from 20mph northward to 20mph north-eastward and finally to 20mph eastward. As it is turning, it is accelerating. However, as soon as it stops turning, the car is no longer accelerating.

What is the verb for the word accelerate?
Accelerate is already a verb. For example, "to accelerate something" is an action and therefore a verb. Another verb would be speed. "To speed something up".
Which is not a way to accelerate an object?
One way to not accelerate an object is by trying to reduce its speed. In physics, a change in speed or in direction is called acceleration. One way not to accelerate an object is to change its name.
Can a particale accelerate if its speed is canstant?
No, a particle cannot accelerate if its speed is constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then the acceleration is zero.
How do you use accelerate in a short sentence?
Try to accelerate slowly when leaving the stop light.
What is the verb for acceleration?
The verb for acceleration is "accelerate." It refers to the act of increasing the speed or rate of something.

What causes things to accelerate?
Speed, velocity.
What is the opposite to accelerate?
The opposite of accelerate is decelerate, which means to slow down or reduce speed.
In terms of speed and direction in what way can an object accelerate?
an object can accelerate both up and down

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.
