Final answer:

The question relates to calculating the charge transported during charging, given the terminal voltage as a function of time. The total charge is provided as 57.6 kC, but without further details on the current or charging duration, we cannot complete the calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves the concept of terminal voltage and the calculation of charge transported during the charging process of a battery. The terminal voltage is given as a function of time (V = 10 + t/2, where t is in hours), and we are informed that a total charge of 57.6 kC (kilo coulombs) is transported. To connect these pieces of information, one would typically use the relationship between current, charge, and time (Q = I*t), where I is the current. However, the current (I) is not provided directly; it would be derived from the given function of terminal voltage if additional information about resistance or power were given. Without such information, we can state that 57.6 kC of charge has been transported, but the question cannot be answered fully due to missing details about the current or the time over which the charging occurs.
