Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes. Since speed and velocity are different, the statement is false.

The speed is a magnitude and the velocity is a vector, it has magnitude and direction, sometimes there is no change in the magnitude but there is a change in the direction, so there is acceleration.
