Best Answer

A penny will rest on the surface of the cornstarch and water mixture only briefly before beginning to sink. Cornstarch and water, when mixed together, act as a non-newtonian fluid which acts as a solid when a sharp or sudden force acts. When a steady force acts, the material acts as a liquid and will flow or allow objects to sink through.
