Best Answer

Peanuts are not fissile materials and cannot be used to generate nuclear energy.

If they could, however, be transmuted into energy, using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula e=mc2, and assuming a mass of one gram per peanut, you could create 1x1013 joules. That would power a typical home using 1000 KWH per month for about 230 years, or 230 houses for about one year.

Keep in mind that not even nuclear reactors fully transmute the energy in the core - they transmute less than 1% before they need to be refueled - so this is just a theoretical number that really has no meaning, except to show the energy present in everything that is.

None. The nuclear energy in a single peanut is derived from a very small amount of the mass in that peanut. To convert it back into mass would leave with almost nothing.

How much energy joules in a peanut?

Yes, there are energy joules in a peanut. One peanut releases 1,880 physicist calories, or 1.88 food calories. Energy is measured in joules. One food calorie equals 4,200 joules. So one peanut has just under 8,000 joules of energy.

What can students do to not forget things?

Studies show that eating peanut butter prior to exams and chewing gum while taking the exam help. The peanut butter nutritionally spurs brain function and the activity of chewing actually uses up nervous energy that distracts memory.


Did Jimmy Carter study nuclear physics?

No, before Carter was president, of course, he was governer and a peanut farmer.


Does a peanut contain enough energy to run a car?

Well, according to wikipedia (not a reliable resource), a peanut is about .5 grams.So via E=mc2 that means there are 4.5x10^13 joules (not kilojoules) of energy in a peanut. Or more accurately, the mass of a peanut is equal to about 4.5e + 13 joules.There is 2,684,000 joules in a horsepower. Therefore in a peanut there may be 16,766,020.9 horsepower.Answer: YES**(if the conversion of the peanut's mass into energy is close to or exactly 100%)
