No. Acceleration is the change in velocity(speed) over a period time.

=====================================

Another contributor bristled:

Sorry. Velocity and speed are not two different words for the same thing.

Velocity means speed and direction, and acceleration means any change in velocity.

If the speed is constant but the direction is changing ... like turning a corner or driving

on a circular track ... then velocity is changing, and there is acceleration.
