Why does an acceleration cause velocity to increase

It doesn't always do that.

Acceleration means any change in the speed or direction of motion. So any time an object speeds up, slows down, or turns, acceleration is happening.

These 3 things are all changes of velocity. Acceleration causes them, because that's the definition of acceleration.

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
