Relative Acceleration Summary

The video tutorial explains the concept of accelerations A and B, and how the acceleration of A relative to B is determined using a specific formula. It describes the formula in detail, including the units of measurement, and illustrates it graphically. The tutorial concludes by showing how trigonometry can be used to find the magnitudes of these accelerations by calculating the lengths of a triangle.

What does the acceleration of object B look like in the initial explanation?
