Why can an object accelerate while traveling at constant speed but not at constant velocity? Explain
Answers
An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes.

Answer:
see first speed and velocity are same the only difference is, velocity has magnitude with direction and speed has only magnitude, and constant velocity means in same direction as well as same magnitude and acceleration has also magnitude and direction. Now accelerating an object means either change in magnitude or in direction and if the velocity is constant it means magnitude and direction are constant but when speed is constant then only magnitude is constant but the direction can be change, hence an object with constant speed can accelerate.
