: better analogy would be a ball : when it is at rest it has zero energy
but when it is moving it has positive energy : even more understandable analogy would be a car that is static even though it has petrol : once it moves the petrol burns and shall expire but if car remains motion less then no petrol will be burnt at all how ever

So, let's plug in some numbers (actually, just 1 number, namely the mass). Let's take our mass to be 1 Kg for simplicity. First, though, we need to square the speed of light in a vacuum. So, we get [math] which gives us [math], which we multiply again by 1 Kg, which gives us [math]. This last result can be converted directly to joules, as the units are given in metres per second. From this, we obtain the result that the energy contained in a mass of 1 Kg, is equal to [math] joules, or 90,000,000,000,000,000 joules.

Shouldn't the bit in this passage that goes "9x1016kg/m2s-2" actually read 9x1016kg m2s-2?
