Does a car accelerate when it goes around a corner at a constant speed?
yes an acceleration is a change in speed and when you go around a corner you change your speed.
When should you use round or around. He went around the corner or he went round the corner?
You would use "around" in this situation, as it implies a direction and not a shape. "He went AROUND the corner." However, in some situations, you may round a corner. For example, a baserunner in baseball passing by third base and heading for home plate can be said to round the corner towards home, in reference to the path in which the runner takes around the basepath. Rather than running a straight line to third base and then a straight line to home plate, the runner takes the corner at full speed and thus, ROUNDS the corner in an arced path.
