Mass-energy equivalence
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence

Here it defines a Function to calculate energy(in joules) equivalent of a given
mass(in kilograms) using Einstein's Mass-energy equivalence equation E=mc^2
where m is mass and c is the speed of light in vaccume(a constant value) in meter per second.

The function takes a single argument mass(in kg) having datatype float and
returns the energy(in joule) having datatype float
