Wtf what that frq😭😭 straight up got cooked by that flow rate equation. How are you supposed to find the volume flow rate?? i just used A1V1=A2V2
like (area of pipe)(volume flow rate in the pipe)=(area of nozzle)(volume flow rate of water exiting the nozzle)
then i tweaked out and said that graph (area of pipe)/(area of nozzle) on the x axis and graph the velocity of water exiting the water on the y axis (measured by height/time) and the slope of the graph is the volume flow rate in the pipe.

I said you should measure the radius of the pipe and nozzles, the distance of H, and the time took to reach H

Did I even get partial points? 😭

okayyyy so context here, my counselor is the past year hasn’t been very responsive and I mean that by like I sent around 5-10 emails to them for some materials thats required to be uploaded by your counselor for some prestigious program and i got no response so my applications were not turned in on time and I was not not considering for the programs. I get that they are probably really busy but i spent a lot of time on the application essays and rec letters, so i got really mad and later requested the principal to change my counselor, which ended in the principal having a talk with them and after that my counselor is super supportive, responsive and helpful but the change was not ultimately successful so i still have the same counselor until graduation. I really appreciate them and genuinely feel bad about the decisions i made and I feel like i might have gone a little overboard looking back… Anywayssss now i feel like a horrible person and I also just realized that my dream college requires a counselor recommendation letter… do you guys think my counselor would hold this against me 😭😭😭😭and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE any advice on how to maybe rebuild the relationship and correct the wrongs? Genuinely tweaking out right now 😭

currently a sophomore and genuinely fried, please share any advice and feel free to be brutally honest. I just want to know if i even have a shot at hopkins and other t20s, and what I can do to make my application better

Involved in some other clubs but im not gonna list them bc there was no leadership position and impact

I think the main problem with my application is that things are kinda all over the place and nothing has been really impactful, so any advice on how i can tie my application back to my major and increase impact would be really helpful!
