That means that either its speed, or its direction, or both, are changing.
An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing.
No, an accelerating object cannot have zero speed. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object changes over time. If an object is accelerating, its speed is increasing or decreasing, but it cannot be zero.
An object is not accelerating when it is moving in a straight line at an unchanging speed (which may be zero).
If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is moving at a constant speed.
You can tell an object is accelerating if its velocity is changing, either in speed or direction. This can be observed by noticing a change in the object's position over time.

Accelerating...or was accelerating.

The velocity of an accelerating object increases over time as long as the acceleration is maintained.
An object that is accelerating may slow down, speed up, or change direction.
When an object is accelerating, the forces acting on it are unbalanced. This means that there is a net force acting on the object in the direction of its acceleration, causing a change in its velocity.
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. The definition of acceleration is the change in an object's velocity over time. Acceleration must then be zero since velocity remains constant.
