Relative velocity is the velocity of an object as observed from a particular reference frame, and it varies with the choice of reference frame. If two reference frames are moving relative to each other at a constant velocity, then the accelerations of an object as observed in both reference frames are equal.

(???); graphically, you draw them so the tip of one vector coincides with the tail of the other (we call this “tip-to-tail”), and then draw the sum vector from the tail of the first one to the tip of the other one. (In general, to get two arbitrary vectors tip-to-tail you may need to displace one of them; this is OK provided you do not change its orientation, that is, provid…
