My function runs successfully at first, but once i type in a length of vector i get this error:

  This program accepts a vector of masses and calculates the energy for
  them. It displays a linear and three logarithmic plots and provides a
  table of values for mass entered and resulting energy from the row vector
  entered.
Enter your choice   1.Metric  2.US customary units : 1
Enter your choice     1.Vector  2.Scaler : 1
Enter the length of the vector : [100 200 300 400 500]
Error using zeros
Size inputs must be scalar.
Error in energy2 (line 20)
    m = zeros(1,ln);

Here is my full function:

function[E]=energy
% This program accepts a vector of masses and calculates the energy for
% them. It displays a linear and three logarithmic plots and provides a
% table of values for mass entered and resulting energy from the row vector
% entered.
