Yes.

-- 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.
It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or turning.

-- If an object is NOT moving in  straight line at constant speed,
then its motion is accelerated.

-- In circular motion, or even just going around a curve,
the object is accelerating, because its direction is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.
