An ice skater glides around a rink at a constant speed of 2m s Is the skater accelerating Explain your answer?

Yes, the skater is accelerating even though they are moving at a constant speed. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, which includes changes in speed or direction. Since the skater is moving in a circular path, their direction is constantly changing, resulting in a change in velocity and therefore an acceleration, specifically centripetal acceleration.
