"""
Calculate the energy equivalent for a given mass using E=mc^2.

Parameters:
mass_kg (float): Mass in kilograms.(must be positive)

Returns:
float: Energy equivalent in joules.

Calculate the energy equivalent for a moving mass using relativistic energy-momentum relation(E^2= m^2*c^4 +p^2*c^2).

Parameters:
mass_kg (float): Mass in kilograms.(must be positive)
velocity_m_s (float): Velocity in meters per second.(can be negative as well as positive)

Returns:
float: Energy equivalent in joules.
