""" calculate the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present
in a gravitational field = m*g*h
Parameters
----------
m : float
A numeric value that is the mass of the object(kilograms).
g : float, optional
gravitational field
h: float
height above the earth surface(metre).
Returns
-------
ge : float
A gravitational energy (float) value which is the energy stored in the object.
Examples
--------
>>> gravitational_energy(2.5,10, g = 9.8)
245.16
>>> gravitational_energy(10,22, g = 9.80665)
