Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers fluid dynamics, focusing on the conservation of mass flow rate. Key concepts include flow rate (f = vA), the continuity equation (Aโvโ = Aโvโ), and the relationship between area, velocity, and pressure. Example problems demonstrate applying these principles, and the guide also touches upon mass conservation in fluid systems and its exam relevance for AP Physics 2.
