    I think this answers my question, thanks!

    Bernoulli's Principle and pressure

    Thank you for your response. I understand the pressure building up on your thumb but what I don't understand is this: If you spray someone with this water from the hose, why does the person being sprayed "FEEL" like there is a lot pressure acting on them? Assuming the water WAS at 30 psi...

    Bernoulli's Principle and pressure

    I use: P⁄ϒ+v^2/2g + z Thanks a lot for all your responses.

    Bernoulli's Principle and pressure

    I understand your analogy. However, if the dynamic pressure is related to potential energy, which part of Bernoulli's is related to kinetic energy? Isn't it the ½ρv^2 I mentioned earlier?

    Bernoulli's Principle and pressure

    @ tiny-tim Thanks for the warm welcome =] So it's basically the term ½ρv^2 (dynamic pressure) that accounts for the kinetic energy right? Thank you to both of you for your responses!

    Bernoulli's Principle and pressure

    Hi guys, I have what I hope is an easy question. When you put your thumb over the end of a water hose, why does the water coming out feel like it has a HIGH pressure (meaning, it will hurt somebody being sprayed by it) EVEN THOUGH Bernoulli's Principle says that the pressure should...
