This might seem counterintuitive, but it's absolutely possible to be accelerating and traveling at a constant speed! Here's how:

* Acceleration refers to a change in *velocity*, not just speed. Velocity includes both speed and direction.

* Circular motion is a classic example. Imagine a car driving around a circular track at a constant speed. Even though the speed is constant, the car is constantly changing direction. This change in direction means its velocity is changing, and therefore it's accelerating (specifically, this is called *centripetal acceleration*).

Think about it this way:

* Speed: How fast you're going.

* Velocity: How fast you're going *and* in what direction.

* Acceleration: How quickly your velocity is changing.

So, to accelerate while maintaining constant speed, you just need to change your direction.
