Having stabilized the fuel, you look to your computer for next steps. You are told that the spacecraft uses a "start capacitor" that must reach a required voltage in order to start its engine. This voltage is determined by the fixed capacitance and charge as a function of time, q(t) . These capacitors are charged and stored in your current location and must be brought to the spacecraft. Your computer provides you with the following definitions: Charge: The charge as a function of time is q(t)=∫i(t)dt , where i(t)=36t^5+15t^2−6 is the current as a function of time. You need to provide the computer with the function q(t) in order for it to appropriately charge the start capacitor. If an unknown constant is needed, it can be included using "+ C", being sure to use a capital letter as the lowercase is used for capacitance. q(t)=

In the circuit diagram below, the capacitor C is first fully charged by using a 6.0V battery and the two way switch k. It is then discharged through the resistor R. The figure below shows how the charge Q on the capacitor C changes with time during the discharge. Use the graph to answer the following questions: What is the capacitance of the capacitor? Estimate the initial current through the resistor during the discharging process, hence, calculate the resistance of the resistor and the time constant of the circuit. On the same axes, draw graphs to show how the voltage Vc across the capacitor and VR across the resistor vary with time during the charging. Indicate values where appropriate.
