How did it get there?

Glacial erratic. Backhoe dumped in there. Fell off a stone wall. Ejected by a
volcano. Pick one.

Why is it sitting there when it's accelerating? How does the gound

Doesn't look like it's accelerating to me. Electrostatic force.

That's three irrelevant questions I've answered. Are you to continue to duck or
answer my simple one?

OK fell off a wall. Now why doesn't it keep falling?

But is it accelerating (it's moving with the earth). Yes, electrostaitc
forces resist weight by compression and that stores energy... OK?

Yes that's true. Now what is the linear velocity of an object moving in
a circle?

Accleration isn't movement -- it's a change in velocity.

No, the answer is not that your head is in the way. Sheesh, you try to
get some scientific converstaion about sailing going and look what drops in!
