Because 'acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'. 
It means ANY change in motion ... speeding up, slowing down,
or changing DIRECTION.

When traveling a roundabout, or any curved path, the direction
is constantly changing even if the speed is constant, so there is
constant acceleration going on.

Given parameters:

Mass of toy  = 1.2kg

Force applied = 0.8N

Unknown:

Acceleration   = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law of motion;

      Force  = mass x acceleration

Now,

      Acceleration = \frac{Force}{mass}

     Acceleration  = \frac{0.8}{1.2}   = 0.67m/s²

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>
