No. Acceleration only affects velocity in one particular direction (same direction as acceleration). Speed is the summation of velocities in all directions.

What does constant velocity or acceleration mean?
"Constant" means that regardless of when you measure it, the result is always the same. "Velocity" means speed and its direction. "Acceleration" means the rate at which speed is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.
When acceleration and velocity are in the same direction the speed will?
In that case, the speed will increase.
What happens to your speed when the acceleration is in the same direction as the motion?
Speed increase constantly.
What happens to the speed when acceleration is in the same direction as the motion?
Speed increase constantly.
What moving object speed up in what direct is the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same direction of the velocity
A car must always have an acceleration in the same direction as its velocity?
no
How are spped velocity direction and acceleration the same?
acceleration=ratio of change in velocity in a specific direction to time. speed=ratio of distance to time.
Describe a situation in which an object accelerates without changing speed?
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, so velocity must always be changing if the object is accelerating. HOWEVER, you said speed which means only magnitude, not direction. If you stay the same speed, but change direction then you are accelerating. Simple answer: when you are going the same speed in a circle - velocity changes, therefore acceleration changes.
How can an object be accelerating while traveling at the same speed?
Acceleration is the rate of change of VELOCITY, not of SPEED. If the velocity changes, there is acceleration. It is enough for the direction to change.
Why does the acceleration of a merry go round change even though the speed stays the same?
Acceleration is always towards the center. In other words, for a person on the merry-go-round, the direction of the acceleration changes all the time; therefore the acceleration changes.
A swimmer increase the speed as she approaches the end of the pool her acceleration is?
in the same direction as her motion.
Is the direction of force always the same as the direction of accelration?
Yes. f=ma the direction of acceleration is the direction of the force and vice versa.
