    Yes.

    - - 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.

    It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion ...

    speeding up, slowing down, or turning.

    - - If an object is NOT moving in straight line at constant speed,

    then its motion is accelerated.

    - - In circular motion, or even just going around a curve,

    the object is accelerating, because its direction is constantly

    changing, even if its speed is constant.
