Most people think that "acceleration" means "speeding up". 
(Maybe you use the word that way.  I don't.)
I think this comes from the gas pedal in the car being called
the "accelerator".

The real meaning of "acceleration" is: any change in motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction even if speed
doesn't change.

Answer:
