Oak Trees produce acorns not nuts.
Infact, your wrong, the acorn produces acorns which are nuts. Acorns are often classified as oak nuts. But I'm afraid I don't have the equation, apparently there is one somewhere on the web. I suppose it also depends on how many oak tree flowers are pollinated.
Typically they eat small animals such as mice and other rodents. They have been known to have a taste for chicken and mashed potatoes though. They are commmonly found in your grandmothers knicker draw

Why are acorns not oak nuts or why are oak trees not acorn trees?
A seed or nut of an oak tree is called an acorn in English because that is the name that has come down to us over the past thousand or so years.
Both the words oak and acorn words are derived via Dutch from the original Old Low German word for an oak tree: Eiche. (Pronounced roughly as "eye-sheh".)
That Old Low German word evolved into the modern Dutch word for an oak tree, eik. That is pronounced as "ake" today (as in the English words "take" or "ache") but eikmay have sounded much more like "oke" a few hundred years ago.
Our modern English word "acorn" may be derived from an Old Dutch word eik-korn, meaning "oak-corn". (As when using the word "corn" to mean "seed".)
Eik-korn has been replaced by the modern Dutch word eikel which means "a baby oak", just as we could say "an oaklet" in English.
Interesting factlet:
In modern Dutch an oak tree is called an eik and its seed or nut - an acorn - is called an eikel. So, in modern Dutch at least, the oak tree and its nut actually sound very similar!
Another interesting fact:
In Early English the modern word oak was spelt acbut it was pronounced in almost the same way as the modern word! It's another reason why we still spell acorn the way we do.
The change from ac to oak is a good example of the way the original Old English spelling of a word has been modernised over the past 500 years or so to match the way a word is written to the way that word is pronounced.
Such modernisation of spelling was introduced mainly as a result of the invention of the printing press and the use of printed books to educate a majority of the population: it made good sense to change the spelling from ac to oak to make it much easier to teach people how to read.
That process is still going on today, for example the use of such words as "color" instead of "colour", "thru" instead of "through", "pediatrician"" instead of "paediatrician" as current standard spellings in US English whilst, in Britain and countries within the British Commonwealth, the older spellings are still used as standard.
