Are we chatting about the option where the water/ice is
on top of a vacuum in a glass?
I thought if the glass was (hypothetically) strong enough to
hold the impact of the accelerating water mass from the
air pressure being exerted down on top of it the two
objects would behave like two billiard balls colliding
off one another. The glass is pushed up by air pressure,
the water/ice pushed down by air pressure - the two masses
meet and then recoil - if the glass doesn't break and the
ice doesn't shatter.
Even if the ice broke apart it would shoot out of the glass
like a cannon blast after collision.
As for water vaporizing into the vacuum, I don't think the
water molecules would have enough time to leave the surface
of the water mass with the rest of the water mass pushing
down at a super high rate of acceleration.
I guess someone needs to calculate which would be faster.
The speed of vaporized molecules leaving the water surface
or over all speed of the main water mass.
Who's good at calculus?
Let's see. 1 + 1 = 11. I got this. Hang on a second.
