What if the material is a super conductor?
Could be a situation where the amount of force to move it 10 cm would shatter it before it fully transmitted the pressure?

the ability to transfer electricity has nothing to do with the speed, with which a pressure wave is transmitted. so - super conductor behaves the same as normal conductors or isolators.
and yes - if you apply more force on an object than this object can handle, it will shatter/bend/deform/vaporize/whatever.

Oh ok. I was thinking about the molecules settling closer to each other would have an impact. Thanks.
