non sequitur. acceleration = rate of change of speed.

non sequitur. frequency is not a measure of speed or acceleration.

my cup of coffee would radiate a 14Mhz carrier?

If the cup was to move 5 meters left, then 10 meters right, then ten meter
left again that would be one cylcle. There are 14 million cycles in one
second. So, net speed of cup is speed of light.
