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.
Any object moving on a circular path will never have a constant velocity because the direction of the object changes every instant. However, the object may have constant speed. From the definition of velocity, you can see that a velocity is changing whenever the speed, the direction, or both is changing. Again, even if an object moves at constant speed around a curved path, it does not move at constant velocity.
