Understanding m^2 / s^2 (Speed of Light help)

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.

The speed of light squared, or c^2, is a unit often used in physics to represent energy. It is the product of the speed of light, c, and itself. In scientific notation, c^2 is written as 8.98755179 × 10^16 m^2/s^2. This unit is typically used in equations to calculate the energy of a system, such as in Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. To convert this unit to meters per second, we simply take the square root of c^2, which is the speed of light, and we get approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This is the speed at which light travels in a vacuum, and it is a fundamental constant in physics. I hope this helps clarify the concept of c^2 and its relation to meters per second.
