Need help using Boltzmann's constant. If i'm trying to find average thermal velocity (Vrms) of a water droplet (spherical) and i'm given radius = 10^-6 m at 293.15 K, and the density of water is 0.997 g/mL (997 kg/m^3), how would i go about finding the Vrms? The droplet can also be treated as an ideal gas particle.

You are performing work as an assistant to a cosmology professor. She asks you to estimate the temperature of the Universe at a time after the Big Bang when neutral atoms could form from the plasma and the Universe became transparent. She tells you that the energy required to excite an atom is on the order of 1 eV. She suggests you use the Boltzmann distribution function e-E/k BT to find the order of magnitude of the threshold temperature at which 1.00% of a population of photons has energy greater than 1.00 eV.
If the electrons gain this energy by collision between hydrogen atoms in a high temperature gas, find the minimum temperature of the heated hydrogen gas. The thermal energy of the heated atoms is given by 3 kB T 2, where the Boltzmann constant is 1.38 × 10-23 J/K. Answer in units of K.
Consider a star of mass M = 10M⊙, composed entirely of fully ionized 12C. Its core temperature is Tc = 6 × 108 K (compared to Tc,⊙ = 1.5 × 107 K for the Sun). Use the classical ideal gas law, the dimensional relation between mass, density, and radius, and the virial theorem to find the scaling of the stellar radius r∗ with total mass M, mean particle mass m , and core temperature Tc. Using the values of these parameters for the Sun, find the radius of the star.
In a certain gas at room temperature (300 K), the energy levels of its particles are separated by 0.1 eV. Calculate the ratio of the number of particles in the second excited state (E = 0.3 eV) to the number of particles in the ground state (E = 0 eV) using the Boltzmann Factor formula. Give your answer to two decimal places.

A blue supergiant star has a radius of 7.4 x 1010 m. The spherical surface behaves like a blackbody radiator. If the blue supergiant star radiates an energy rate of 1.29 × 1033 w, what would be its surface temperature (in °C)? The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67 × 10-8 w/(m2 . K4).

In this problem you will consider the balance of thermal energy radiated and absorbed by a person. Assume that the person is wearing only a skimpy bathing suit of negligible area. As a rough approximation, the area of a human body may be considered to be that of the sides of a cylinder of length L=2.0mL=2.0m and circumference C=0.8mC=0.8m. For the Stefan-Boltzmann constant use σ=5.67×10−8W/m2/K4σ=5.67×10−8W/m2/K4.
