True. Acceleration is any change in velocity, including a change in direction. So when you change direction, you are indeed accelerating.
False. Any change in velocity, including a change in direction, is considered acceleration. Since the merry-go-round house is constantly changing its direction as it moves in a circular path, it is indeed accelerating.
False. An object is slowing down when its speed is decreasing, which means it is decelerating, not accelerating in the direction of motion.
False. A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is decelerating or slowing down, but it is still accelerating in the opposite direction.
False. Acceleration is a change of speed or direction over time.
False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.

False. Balanced forces do not change an object's direction. Balanced forces only keep an object at rest or in a uniform motion in a straight line. If an object changes direction, unbalanced forces are acting on it.
true
Yes it is true to a certain extent.
True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.True. It is accelerating because the velocity constantly changes. The velocity constantly changes because the direction changes - and a velocity is made up of a magnitude, and a direction.
True. A force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction. It is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.
False. A body traveling at constant speed does not change its velocity, which includes both speed and direction. Therefore, in order to change direction, the body would need to change its velocity, which also involves changing its speed.
'Acceleration' is a change in the speed and/or direction of motion.
