Figure 2.1

The selection of an inertial frame implies the declaration of zero velocity at the origin as well as a zero position vector at the origin.

The position vectors of particles A and B: A r and B r , are defined with the base at the origin O of the inertial frame I e , as shown in Figure 2.1. However, velocity and acceleration vectors are based at each particle.
