I can't understand your question but for any 2 frames A (non inertial) and Ground and a particle P, you can write,$$\vec{a}_{P \ wrt \ Ground} \ = \ \vec{a}_{P \ wrt \ A} \ + \ \vec{a}_{A \ wrt \ Ground}$$

i will re-phrase the question as :the accelerations of a particle as seen from 2 frames s1 ana s2 have equal magnitude =4 ; what can be possible the relationships between the accelerations of s1 and s2.

The answer 0 to 8 seems reasonable, if the coordinate axes of the two frames do not rotate relative to each other.

Rotation of the reference frames may allow a larger range for the answer.

I would first clarify the terms used in this context. A particle's acceleration is the rate of change of its velocity, and frames S1 and S2 refer to different reference frames from which the particle's motion is observed. Therefore, the acceleration of a particle can vary depending on the reference frame from which it is measured.

In this scenario, the acceleration of the particle is 4 in both S1 and S2. This means that the particle's velocity is changing at the same rate in both frames. However, the direction of this acceleration may differ between the frames.

The value of acceleration between S1 and S2 can vary between 0 and 8, as the particle's acceleration may be in the same direction or in opposite directions in the two frames. This depends on the relative motion between the two frames and the direction of the particle's motion.

To determine the exact value of acceleration between S1 and S2, we would need more information about the particle's motion and the relative motion between the two frames. This could include the particle's initial velocity, the angle between the two frames, and any other external forces acting on the particle. Without this information, we cannot accurately determine the value of acceleration between S1 and S2.
