    "Acceleration" does NOT mean 'speeding up'. It means any change

    in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or

    moving in a curve.

    An object moving in a circle at a constant speed is accelerating, because

    when you're moving along a circle, your direction is constantly changing.
