Explanation:

Step1: Recall acceleration definition

Acceleration is a change in velocity (speed or direction).

Step2: Analyze Frisbee

A Frisbee slowing down has a change in speed, so it is accelerating.

Step3: Analyze red wagon

A red - wagon moving at a constant speed in a straight line has no change in velocity, so it is not accelerating.

Step4: Analyze stuffed T - rex

A motionless stuffed T - rex has a velocity of zero and no change in velocity, so it is not accelerating.

a Frisbee that is slowing down after being thrown into the wind
