In the case of statement (1):
The word "acceleration" refers to a change in an object's velocity. One example of this is vertical particle projection. The body's maximum height velocity is 0 when an object is thrown upward, yet gravity's constant acceleration still applies. In the case of statement (2):
If the object is moving in a circle, it may follow a specific path while accelerating perpendicularly. Whenever an item moves in a circular pattern, its path follows the circle tangent, although its centripetal acceleration has been directed toward the circle radius. We see and even with the radius, a tangent still forms a straight angle. When an item moves in a circular motion, the velocity and accelerations are mutually perpendicular.
