Google says the speed of light squared is 8.98755179 × 10¹⁶ m2 / s2 ... Can someone give this to me in meters per second please

Nope. Speed squared has units of (distance per time) squared.

ebodet18, you seem to be really confused about how units work. A square meter is not the same thing as a meter. Speed of light squared isn't the same thing as the speed of light.
