Question
Give two factors on which acceleration depends.

Answer

Yes, that's right, a change in the direction of motion results in an acceleration even if the moving object neither sped up nor slowed down. That's because acceleration depends on the change in velocity and velocity is a vector quantity-one with both magnitude and direction.
