1. 伯努利原理的核心概念★☆☆☆☆⏱ 3 min
伯努利原理
= absolute pressure, = fluid density, = average flow speed, = acceleration due to gravity, = height above reference
适用于定常、不可压缩、无黏滞流体流动的基础能量守恒关系,关联了压强、流速和重力高度三个物理量。
例:
Predicts lower pressure when fluid flow speed increases at constant height in a narrowing pipe.
伯努利原理直接由应用于运动流体系统的机械能守恒推导而来。在AP物理1考试中,该知识点占总分值的约1-2%,会出现在选择题和简短自由作答题中。本指南使用的符号完全符合AP考试的标准规范。
2. 连续性方程(质量守恒)★★☆☆☆⏱ 4 min
在大多数AP考题中应用伯努利原理之前,你首先需要用到连续性方程,它来源于不可压缩定常流动的质量守恒。对于封闭管道内的流动,单位时间内流入的质量等于流出的质量,因此在密度恒定的前提下,体积流量是恒定的。
连续性方程
= volume flow rate, = cross-sectional area, = average flow speed
对于不可压缩定常流动,封闭管道内任意位置的体积流量恒定。
对于圆形管道,,因此在取面积比值时常数项会抵消,得到简化关系,这能在AP考试中大幅节省解题时间。
一根直径为6.0 cm的圆形进水管收窄为直径2.0 cm的出水管。若入口流速为1.0 m/s,求出口流速是多少?
- 1
写出两个位置对应的连续性方程:

代入圆形管道的面积公式,常数项相互抵消:

- 5
整理方程求解未知的出口流速:
- 6
- 7
代入已知数值:
- 8
Exam tip:
始终验证直觉判断:如果管道变窄,出口流速必然高于入口流速。如果计算得到的流速更低,说明你把直径的比例关系搞反了。
3. 伯努利方程(原理的定量表达)★★★☆☆⏱ 5 min
伯努利方程是该原理的定量表达式,代表单位体积流体的机械能守恒。对于符合条件的流动中同一流线上的任意两点,单位体积的压强能、动能和重力势能之和为恒定值。
每一项的单位都是压强(Pa,等价于J/m³)。当两点高度相同()时,核心概念结论是流速升高必然对应压强降低,反之亦然。AP物理1要求你牢记默认常量数值: kg/m³ 和 Pa。
上一个例题中的管道系统水平放置,因此入口和出口处于同一高度。已知入口表压为 Pa,管内流体为水,求出口表压是多少?
- 1
我们已经通过连续性方程得到 m/s, m/s。由于管道水平放置,,因此项相互抵消。
- 2
写出表压形式的伯努利方程(大气压已抵消):

- 7
Exam tip:
当使用表压计算时,如果两个点都与大气连通,你可以完全忽略大气压,因为它会被抵消,简化计算过程。
4. 托里拆利定律(容器排水的特殊情况)★★★☆☆⏱ 4 min
伯努利原理在AP考试中最常见的应用之一是托里拆利定律,它描述了流体从大型开口水箱的小孔流出的速度。这里适用两个关键近似:1)水箱的横截面积远大于小孔的面积,因此液面处的流速可以忽略不计(),2)液面和小孔都与大气连通,因此二者的压强相等。
从伯努利方程推导托里拆利定律
适用于带小孔的大型开口水箱的完整伯努利方程
- 1
将小孔处设为参考高度,因此液面高度等于小孔在液面下方的深度。我们已知且。
- 2
- 3
从等式两侧消去和并整理:
- 4
流出速度等于从高度处自由下落的物体的速度,与能量守恒的预期结果一致。
一个大型开口水箱装满水,总高度为6.0 m。在距离水箱底部2.0 m的位置扎有一个小孔。求水从小孔流出的速度是多少?
- 1
确认托里拆利定律的适用假设:水箱足够大因此,两个位置都与大气连通因此压强相等。
- 2
计算小孔在液面下方的深度:

代入托里拆利定律:

Exam tip:
在概念类自由作答题中,必须明确写出两个核心近似条件(液面流速可忽略、两处压强均为大气压)才能拿到全部分数。
5. AP考试常见应用★★★★☆⏱ 5 min
伯努利原理可以解释AP物理1中常考的诸多常见现实现象,包括飞机升力,它由机翼上下表面的压强差产生。
飞机机翼上表面的气流速度为260 m/s,下表面的气流速度为220 m/s。空气密度为1.2 kg/m³,机翼总面积为20 m²。假设机翼上下表面处于同一高度,计算由压强差产生的净升力。

- 3
代入数值:
- 4
- 5
净升力等于压强差乘以机翼面积:
- 6
测试你对托里拆利定律的理解:
A large open tank is filled with water to a height of 7.0 m above the base. A small hole is 2.0 m above the base, open to the atmosphere. What is the approximate exit speed of water?
6.3 m/s
9.9 m/s
11.7 m/s
14 m/s
显示答案
9.9 m/s —Correct: m, so m/s. The most common error uses total tank height instead of depth below the surface.
6. 常见陷阱
错误做法:
Flipping the diameter/area ratio in continuity, calculating for a narrowing pipe
原因:
Students forget the inverse relationship between area and speed, mixing up which area corresponds to which speed.
正确做法:
Always check your result after solving continuity: if the pipe narrows, output speed must be larger than input. Flip the ratio if it is not.
错误做法:
Using absolute pressure for one point and gauge pressure for another in Bernoulli's equation
原因:
Problems often give gauge pressure, and students forget all pressure terms must use the same reference frame.
正确做法:
Convert all pressures to the same type at the start of the problem. Gauge pressure is simpler for problems with multiple open ends, as cancels automatically.
错误做法:
Automatically canceling terms even when the pipe is not horizontal
原因:
Students get used to horizontal pipe problems and forget to check for height differences between points.
正确做法:
Always explicitly write the term for both points before canceling any terms, so you do not miss height changes.
错误做法:
Claiming higher speed always causes lower pressure, regardless of height differences
原因:
Students memorize the 'higher speed = lower pressure' rule and forget it only applies when points are at the same height.
正确做法:
Always use the full Bernoulli equation to compare pressures, accounting for height changes. Pressure can increase with speed if a height drop offsets the kinetic energy increase.
错误做法:
Retaining the full term for Torricelli's Law when the tank is much larger than the hole
原因:
Students forget the continuity approximation that surface speed is negligible for large tanks, leading to incorrectly low exit speed.
正确做法:
If the tank diameter is more than 10 times the hole diameter, approximate , which introduces <1% error, well within AP exam tolerance.

下一步
Bernoulli's principle is the capstone of Unit 8 (Fluids) and of AP Physics 1's mechanics-and-fluids content, reinforcing the core course theme of using conservation laws to solve dynamic problems. It completes the fluids unit — the same energy-based reasoning underpins the mechanics topics tested throughout the exam. (Thermal physics is covered next in AP Physics 2, not AP Physics 1.)
