Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then. acceleration is zero. Note: 100 km per h for 10 seconds is a constant speed, but not necessarily a constant. velocity, since we're told nothing about the direction.
In everyday conversation, to accelerate means to speed up. The accelerator in a car can in fact cause it to speed up. The greater the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity over a given time. The formal definition of acceleration is consistent with these notions, but more comprehensive.
