Answer:The cornstarch and water mixture acts like a solid sometimes and a liquid at other times. This concoction is an example of a suspension (a mixture of two substances), one of which is finely divided and dispersed in the other. In the case of the cornstarch quicksand, it’s a solid dispersed in a liquid.

When you slap the cornstarch quicksand, you force the long starch molecules closer together. The impact of this force traps the water between the starch chains to form a semirigid structure. When the pressure is released, the corn- starch flows again.

All fluids have a property known as viscosity—the measurable thickness or resistance to flow in a fluid. Honey and ketchup are liquids that have a high resistance to flow, or a high viscosity. Water has a low viscosity. Sir Isaac Newton said that viscosity is a function of temperature. So, if you heat honey, the viscosity is less than that of cold honey. The cornstarch-water mixture, and real quicksand, are both examples of non-Newtonian fluids because their viscosity changes when stress or a force is applied, not when heat is applied.
