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.
. The velocity-vs-time plot starts with +20m/s (upward) at time t=0 and changes ata steady rate of -10 m/s 2 (decreasing 10m/s each second).  Positive velocities correspond to upwardmotion; negative velocities correspond todownward motion. . The slope is constant and negative (forconstant downward acceleration).
