Does the speed of an object affect the way it sinks on cornstarch?

A stationary object will sink in cornstarch. If an object has kinetic energy (is moving) it will transfer its energy to the cornstarch when it stikes it. This kinetic energy causes the cornstarch to solidify temporarily, once this energy dissipates into the material around where the object struck, the cornstarch becomes liquid again.

Does the mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
How does mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Circular motion would change the direction of an object but would not affect the object's speed.
How does the temperature of water affect the speed at which an object sinks?
Yes. As water is heated above 4oC it expands. With this change in volume comes a change in density. Less density means less bouyant force on the object in the water.
Increasing the speed of an object does not affect that object's what?
mass
Does a mass of an object affect the speed of it?
Yes
Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?
speed
How does distance and time affect the speed from object?
Distance and time do not, in general, affect the speed. Speed, however, can affect distance or time. Distance is directly proportional to speed, time is inversely proportional.
How does kinetic energy affect speed?
The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its speed.
Does wind speed affect the rate of cooling an object?
yes
How does the radius of a circle affect the speed of an object moving in a loop?
It does not.
How does changing the angle of a catapult affect the objects speed?
It shouldn't affect the speed much, but at different angles (and the same speed), an object can reach different distances.
