For example, a pendulum, or anything that moves in a circle or elipse, such as a planet moving around the Sun.
Acceleration is the change in velocity and/or direction of an object. Acceleration can either speed an object up, slow it down (deceleration), or change the direction in which the object is moving.
Change the Direction, Change the Speed and Change the Shape :)
Things experience acceleration when there is a change in their speed or direction.
A point that constantly varies in direction moves along a curved path or trajectory rather than a straight line. This continuous change in direction can be described using concepts from calculus and differential geometry.
An object traveling in circular motion is constantly changing because its 'direction' is constantly changing due to the circular motion. The speed may be unchanging say, 5 miles per hour but the direction may be going form East to North to West to South and then back to East, say in counter clockwise motion.

acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.
turn them around :)

Two things that can change in velocity are speed and direction. Speed refers to the rate at which an object is moving, while direction indicates the path along which the object is moving. Both speed and direction can change independently to result in a change in velocity.
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
Forces can change the speed, direction, and shape of an object.
Change speed of rotation. change direction of rotation.
The velocity of the object is constantly changing in direction as it moves around the circle. This change in direction indicates a change in velocity, even if the speed remains constant.
