1. Bernoulli's equation relates total pressure, static pressure, and dynamic pressure. It states that total pressure equals static pressure minus dynamic pressure. 2. According to the continuity equation, if the diameter of an incompressible airflow tube changes, the air density after the change will be the same as before the change. 3. Newton's second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. 4. If the diameter of an incompressible airflow tube increases, the speed of the flow will increase according to Bernoulli's equation and the continuity equation.
