Acceleration is the change in velocity. If the acceleration is constant, the velocity continues to change at the same rate. We can describe this by multiplying acceleration and time, and adding the result to the initial velocity: vf=vi+at{\displaystyle v_{f}=v_{i}+at}, or "final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration * time)" Initial velocity vi{\displaystyle v_{i}} is sometimes written as v0{\displaystyle v_{0}} ("velocity at time 0"). This will tell you how much the velocity increased (or decreased) over this time period. Example: A ship sailing north at 2 m/s accelerates north at a rate of 10 m/s2. How much did the ship's velocity increase in the next 5 seconds? a = 10 m/s2 t = 5 s (a * t) = (10 m/s2 * 5 s) = 50 m/s increase in velocity. Now you know the total change in the velocity. Add this to the initial velocity of the object, and you have your answer. Example (cont): In this example, how fast is the ship traveling after 5 seconds? vf=vi+at{\displaystyle v_{f}=v_{i}+at} vi=2m/s{\displaystyle v_{i}=2m/s} at=50m/s{\displaystyle at=50m/s} vf=2m/s+50m/s=52m/s{\displaystyle v_{f}=2m/s+50m/s=52m/s} Unlike speed, velocity always includes the direction of movement. Make sure to include this in your answer. In our example, since the ship started going north and did not change direction, its final velocity is 52 m/s north. As long as you know the acceleration, and the velocity at any one point in time, you can use this formula to find the velocity at any other time. Here's an example solving for the initial velocity: "A train accelerates at 7 m/s2 for 4 seconds, and ends up traveling forward at a velocity of 35 m/s. What was its initial velocity?" vf=vi+at{\displaystyle v_{f}=v_{i}+at}35m/s=vi+(7m/s2)(4s){\displaystyle 35m/s=v_{i}+(7m/s^{2})(4s)}35m/s=vi+28m/s{\displaystyle 35m/s=v_{i}+28m/s}vi=35m/s28m/s=7m/s{\displaystyle v_{i}=35m/s-28m/s=7m/s}

Run a search for "commercial real estate" in the location that interests you. You should find listings for several commercial real estate brokers. Review their websites to see the kinds of properties they handle. Find a company that specializes in retail businesses, and particularly gas stations if possible. If most of them appear to be office spaces, that company is probably not for you. They might be able to handle a gas station, but it won't be their specialty. Find a company that seems to show several similar businesses. For example, in the St. Louis, Missouri, area, A&M Realty, Inc., lists several gas stations and convenience stores on its website. This is probably a company that will be able to help you (in that area). When you find an agency that looks like it can help you with commercial properties, call to schedule an appointment with a broker. Meet with the broker and ask questions about what the agency can offer you. In particular, you may ask some of the following questions: "How familiar are you with this community?" "How many sales of gas station businesses have you or your company been involved with in the past year?" "What special concerns do I need to think about when buying a gas station?" "What can you or your agency do to help me with licensing and other state regulations?" Find out what the real estate agency can do to help you. There is much more in buying a gas station business than just looking for a property. You will want a real estate agency that can help you analyze the market, look at the business's financial records, and understand the community. For example, in the Boca Raton and Tampa, Florida, areas, the Commercial Florida agency offers such strategic services as: site selection feasibility studies market forecasts demographics research services A commercial real estate broker should be familiar with the available gas station properties in the area. Ask the broker to arrange visits, so you can tour the facility and speak with the owner or business manager. When you visit, look at the facility, the structure of the buildings, the traffic patterns, and the location of the pumps. Ask to see the company's sales records and financial accounts. Many gas stations contain convenience stores or sell some additional items. Gas stations generally make more profit from their convenience store than from the sale of gas alone. Check out the kind of store, the number of products sold, and its overall cleanliness and appearance. These will all be indications of a successful business.

If your zakat net worth is more than the nisab, you owe zakat. If it's less, you don't owe this year. For example, your zakat net worth is $4,000. Each ounce of silver is currently worth $15, so the nisab using the silver calculation is $315 ($15 X 21 ounces = $315). You have more than the nisab so you owe zakat. If you're over the nisab threshold, give a minimum of 2.5% of your zakat net worth. Give more than 2.5% if you're financially able. For example, if your net worth is $4,000, you'll give $100 for zakat ($4,000 X .025 = $100). However, give more if you're financially able. The calculation is slightly higher if you're using a western, Gregorian calendar vs. the lunar Hijri calendar. If you're following the western calendar cycle use 2.557% of your net worth. If you're following the Hijri calendar, use 2.5% of your net worth. To ensure your zakat is going to fellow Muslims in need, donate to a recognized and registered non-profit charity. Ask your local faith community for recommendations. Ask the charity how much of the zakat donations reach people in need, and what the charity's process is for distributing funds.
