Can a body moving at constant speed have a non-zero accelertion?

Constant speed means constant velocity. Constant velocity means an object is covering same distance in equal intervals of time. So how is it possible to have acceleration. Acceleration means speed is increasing with equal intervals of time.
So its not possible according to my logic.

Under what conditions is it possible to have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration?
A body can have a constant speed yet a nonzero acceleration when it is in a circular motion because though it is having a constant speed but the direction in which it is moving keeps changing at each instance and since acceleration is a vector quantity,it becomes non-zero.
For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Examples of constant speed but changing acceleration?
A body moving with constant speed in a circular path has acceleration changing at every point.
What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?
If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.
How do you use a word constant in a sentence?
I wonder what is the constant speed of this moving car

Can object have zero acceleration and nonzero velocity at the same time.give example?
Yes, for example, a car moving at constant speed.
Moving at constant velocity is also moving with constant speed?
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
Can you use average speed to calculate the speed of an object that is moving at a constant speed?
Yes. If an object is moving at a constant speed the average speed and the constant speed are the same.
Can a body have nonzero average speed but have zero average velocity give example?
An object moving in a circular path at constant speed will have a non-zero average speed and zero average velocity since velocity is a vector parameter,
What is a nonzero constant?
Any number that doesn't change is a constant. Some famous ones are the gravitational constant, the speed of light in a vacuum, and Planck's constant.
If a car moves at constant speed also moving at constant velocity give an example?
A car moving at constant speed in a straight line is also moving at constant velocity.
What is the difference between moving at a constant speed and not moving at all?
None, as "not moving at all" is just moving at a constant speed of zero. Special relativity shows that there is nothing unique or different about zero speed. It is just a value of constant speed.
Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
What does a flat line on a speed vs time graph mean?
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
What Is a constant speed?
When the speed of an object remains the same - it does not increase or decrease - we say it is moving at a constant speed.
