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.
What ways can an object accelerate in terms of speed and direction?
an object can accelerate both up and down
How can your speed accelerate even though your speed does not change?
By moving in an angular motion.
How can a car accelerate if its speed is constant?
It can Accelerate by changing it direction as acceleration eing a vector is dependant on the direction so by changing its direction one can accelrate it keeping the speed constant.
