Two trains leave different cities heading toward each other at different speeds. When and where do they meet?
Train A, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet?
To solve this problem, we'll use the distance formula:
Distance = Rate x Time
Since an equation remains true as long as we perform the same operation on both sides, we can divide both sides by rate:
Distance
---------- = Time
Rate
or by time:
Distance
---------- = Rate
Time

I have no idea why this question is in the Religion section.
So I will reply with an answer that does belong here.
Islam and Christianity, the "daughter" religions of Judaism, have hundreds and thousands of years of war and suppression to their names. The original, Judaism, is peaceful and never made a religious war on those who believe differently.
You have, of course, the Crusades as the prime example.
The reason for the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is that the Arabs, plain and simple, refuse to accept a Jewish state in their midst. They invented this whole idea of a "Palestinian people who deserve a state" just to use as a tool to dismember Israel.
Arab violence against Jews has been going on long before there was an occupation, long before there was a refugee problem--indeed, long before there was a political Zionist movement. Need I present more painful examples? Perhaps even further back, where I hope everyone will agree that the Zionist movement did not yet come into being:
In the centuries after Muhammad there have been periods when the Jews were able to live in relative peace under Arabs, but their position was never secure. They were generally viewed with contempt by their Arab neighbors, and their survival was always predicated on their abject subordination and degradation to them. Mass murders of Jewish "protected people" started in Morocco as early as the eighth century, where Idris I wiped out whole communities. A century later Baghdad's Caliph al-Mutawakkil designated a yellow badge for Jews (setting a precedent that would be followed centuries later in Nazi Germany), and synagogues were destroyed throughout Mesopotamia in 854-859. In Tripolitania, Jews were considered the property of their Arab masters, who would bequeath the Jews to their heirs upon death. In the 12th century, after anti-Jewish riots, the contemporaries commented that their population had 'greatly declined.'
As to how to solve the problem, the only way would be for Israel to defeat the Arabs overwhelmingly, and then dictate the terms for peace. Otherwise, the Arabs will never stop trying to destroy Israel.

My guess is...
2 hours after departure, 120 miles from Eastford, 140 miles from Westford.
But only if the trains were to magically begin moving from 0 to their top speed instantaneously. If not, they would be speeding up at roughly the same rate, therefore going roughly the same speed until train B reached its max at 60 mph, which would throw off the results a little bit.

You have one distance, two rates and time remains the same. What does this suggest to you?

First, you should be doing your own homework or at the most asking for help, not asking others to give you the answers.
Second, what the heck is this question doing in Religion and Sprituality? :)
