The change in velocity per unit of time is what is meant by the vector quantity known as acceleration. When an item's motion varies in speed and/or direction, the object is said to be accelerating. Let's look at the choices: Obviously, speed varies when an item accelerates to a speed of 10 m/s after starting off at rest; during free fall, the body experiences an acceleration from gravity.
An item travelling at a constant speed but changing its direction causes the body's velocity to vary and puts the body under acceleration. If a body has constant velocity, change in velocity is zero, and the body is not accelerating. Centripetal acceleration is yet another name for this.
