Sink rate (and rate of climb) is a function of power not airspeed. Excess power...you go up, more excess power and you go up faster. Same for a deficiency of power, the greater the deficiency, the faster you go down. A 500 fpm rate of descent can be flown at "almost" any airspeed by using an appropriate power setting.
