No, a particle cannot accelerate if its speed is constant. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, and if the speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, then the acceleration is zero.
The term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the forces of air resistance and gravity are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
An object can accelerate even if it is moving at a constant speed if the direction of its velocity changes. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, which includes changes in speed, direction, or both. For example, a car moving in a circle at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction is constantly changing.
If forces on an object are balanced, the object will not accelerate - i.e., its velocity won't change.
A car traveling at constant speed can still accelerate if its direction changes, such as when it goes around a curve. Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity, which includes changes in direction as well as changes in speed. A car at constant velocity, on the other hand, maintains both its speed and direction, so it does not experience acceleration.

A body is moving at constant velocity including zero at Equilibrium Condition, No change of energy or zero force. With force a body can accelerate, move with increasing velocity.

For example, a car moving in a circle at a constant speed is accelerating because its direction is constantly changing.
Yes, it's direction may be constantly changing which would mean it is still accelerating.
acceleration is change in velocity.. and velocity constantly changes in circular motion, as the direction constantly changes. This constant change in velocity causes the object to accelerate.
Acceleration means the velocity changes. Velocity is made up of speed and a direction, so if only the direction changes, the velocity still changes, and therefore there is acceleration. The typical example is moving around in a circle.

A balanced force moving will keep an object at a constant velocity, as the forces cancel each other out. The object will not accelerate or decelerate in any direction.
An object can accelerate while still traveling at a constant speed if it changes direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so even if the speed remains constant, a change in direction would still require acceleration.
Acceleration is the change in velocity with time, for linear (constant) acceleration it is calculated by: (End Speed -Start Speed)/time taken
