A hypothetical physics situation.?

I magine if there was an object that was above the ground and was in constant motion with no net force, only two constant forces acting upon it: gravity and thrust. So if this object is observed for a long period of time, would it stay in the same position it was initially, or would it follow the rotation of Earth?

    Okay, so now assume if there was a force acting upon it for sometime, opposite of the Earth's force, what would happen if the angular momentum "cancels out"?

    The angular momentum does not cancel out under the conditions you stated.

    You have no understanding of Physics.
