Fluids | AP®︎/College Physics 1 | Science | Khan Academy
Discover how forces and conservation laws are used to analyze the behavior of ideal fluids. Learn about density and pressure, and how the relationship between pressure and depth in a fluid gives rise to the buoyant force. Apply the continuity equation and Bernoulli's principle to solve problems involving fluid flow.
