As the instant shown, cars A and B are traveling at speeds of 20 mi/h and 45 mi/h, respectively. If B is acceleration at 1600 mi/h2 while A maintains a constant speed, determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of A with respect to B.

A:
vA/B = 33.9 mi/h, aA/B = 1600 mi/h2
B:
vA/B = 60.8 mi/h, aA/B = 1600 mi/h2
C:
vA/B = 33.9 mi/h, aA/B = 1426 mi/h2
D:
vA/B = 60.8 mi/h, aA/B = 1426 mi/h2
