   I will elaborate on this (there may be lurkers):   
   In NM accelerations is not generally the second derivative of   
   the position, it is the derivative of the velocity.   
      
   That is because the position function P(t,x,y,z) is frame   
   dependent. So the function P(t,x,y,z) will be different   
   in different inertial frames.   
   The velocity is also frame dependent, but the derivative   
   of the velocity is the same in all frames.

   Why are you asking questions which are answered in the post   
   you are responding to?

   In this case, the position function _in the ECI frame_ is   
   a circle, and its derivative is a velocity vector with   
   constant magnitude and direction perpendicular to the position   
   function, as explained above.

   No, it isn't dv/dt.   
      
   I will elaborate.   
   In SR/GR "proper acceleration" is the acceleration measured   
   in the rest frame. So there is no velocity to derivate,   
   and the proper acceleration is as explained above.   
      
   In GR, the acceleration is what an accelerometer shows.   
   An accelerometer in free-fall  will show zero acceleration,   
   an accelerometer on the ground will show 9.81 m/s² acceleration   
   upwards.   
      
   Do you think the accelerometer shows this because GR says so,   
   or do you think it has something to do with laws of nature?

   Yes, I know.   
   You understand nothing, and can't respond   
   with anything but nonsense.
