Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration
a is defined as the variation of Velocity
\Delta V in time
\Delta t :


a=(\Delta V)/(\Delta t)

A body also has acceleration when it changes its direction. However, the rate or variation of position with time is not acceleration, is the definition of velocity.

Therefore the sentence is false.
