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.
Velocity is a vector quantity, which means it implies direction. For velocity to be measured, net displacement must occur. If an object ends at the same location it began, it has zero velocity, no matter how much distance it traveled. This differentiates velocity from speed, which measures distance traveled rather than net displacement.
