<h2>
Answer: B. False</h2>
Explanation:
According to Bernoulli's principle:
<em>"In an ideal fluid (not viscous and without friction) that circulates through a closed conduit, the energy the fluid possesses remains constant along its path."
</em>
From there, Bernoulli deduced that the fluid pressure decreases when the flow rate increases. <u>And this has nothing to do with depth.
</u>
<u>
</u>
To understand it better:
In a fluid that circulates through a closed conduit (a pipe for example), it contains energy in two ways:
-Kinetic energy due to its <u>weigh</u>t and <u>speed.
</u>
-Potential energy in the form of <u>pressure.
</u>
Now, if the system has constant flow and the total energy (kinetic + potential) is also constant, <u>the energy is transformed every time the transverse area of the tube is modified.
</u>
It should be noted that by modifying this transverse area, the flow rate is also modified.
Therefore, <u>as the kinetic energy increases or decreases, this change is compensated by the decrease or increase in pressure</u> (potential energy), since the total energy of the system cannot be created or destroyed.
