Answer:
No the velocity or speed could constant so it is not necessary that it is accelerating

Answer:
NO, greater speed doesn't mean greater acceleration.
Explanation:
Acceleration means the rate of change of velocity.
If there is no change in the velocity then the acceleration is still zero eg: A spaceship travelling in space at 10000kmph. if its velocity is constant then the acceleration is zero.
If you want to think about acceleration try to always think in terms of change in the velocity(even if there is a change in direction of speed).
greater change in velocity means greater acceleration and small change in velocity means small acceleration.
