- Cup size : Bottom face Dia.50mm, Height 150mm, Top face Dia.100mm
- Fluid : water 0.5 kg
 
Starting instantaneously and "jerking" are simply very high bursts of acceleration.

This analysis seems to assume the cup stays flat on the surface at all times which seems a little unlikely.

We also have no steady state speed.

As well as the acceleration there will be a deceleration and also a reduction in acceleration to zero to contend with when you get close to your final speed.

All these are difficult to judge without some experiments
