KILCHER HOMESTEAD LIVING MUSEUM. 1  In the early 1940âs Yule Kilcher and his bride Ruth came to Alaska from Switzerland to start a new life in Homer, on the shores of Kachemak Bay. 2  Our family lived the subsistence lifestyle, gathering wild greens, hunting moose and catching salmon for food and growing a large garden.
If the acceleration is negative and the velocity is also negative, the speed of the object increases.Deceleration: It means a reduction in speed or a slowing down. Some confusion is there between deceleration and negative acceleration. Negative acceleration can increase the speed of an object.
If an objectâs velocity is â40 miles per hour and the object. accelerates â10 miles per hour per hour, the object is speeding up. If the velocity and acceleration are opposite in sign (one is positive and the other is. negative), then speed is decreasing. If an objectâs velocity is â40 miles per hour and the. object accelerates 10 miles per hour per hour, the object is slowing down. Sign Convention: When the object is moving in the right direction or moving upward. then the velocity is positive (Graph of velocity vs. time is above the t axis).
