We show that the pseudotensors of Einstein, Tolman, Landau and Lifshit
z, Papapetrou, and Weinberg essentially coincide for any Kerr-Schild m
etric if calculations are carried out in Kerr-Schild Cartesian coordin
ates. This generalizes a previous result by Gurses and Gursey that dea
lt only with the pseudotensors of Einstein and Landau-Lifshitz. We com
pute exactly the energy and angular momentum distributions for the Ker
r-Newman metric in Kerr-Schild Cartesian coordinates and compare the r
esults with those obtained by using different definitions of quasiloca
l mass, which unlike pseudotensors do not agree for all Kerr-Schild me
trics.
