What is the relationship between Bernoulli's Principle and Newton's Laws of Motion?

Hi Ernesto_Reyes99,

Bernoulli’s equation is a statement of the conservation of energy in fluids. Newton’s second law implies the conservation of momentum. And Newton’s second law can be used to derive the Bernoulli equation. Much more information is available on this topic. A few examples are:
