Develop and apply Bernoulli’s principle and continuity equations to predict changes in the speed and pressure of a moving incompressible fluid. (PII.3.4) The student is able to use Bernoulli’s equation and/or the relationship between force and pressure to make calculations related to a moving fluid. [SP 2.2] (AP P2 LO 5.B.10.2)
