Ahippogriff is a large flying creature that hagrid watches over at hogwarts. if the hippogriff’s mass is 1200 kg then what is its weight? (remember that the acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2.) use the formula: w=m∙g show all your work!

11760 N

Weight = Mass × Acceleration = Mass × Gravity

Mass = 1200kg

Gravity = 9.8 m/s^2  (the negative sign denotes direction)

Weight = 1200kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 11760 kg×m/s^2 = 11760 Newtons

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules

a.metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.d.only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

d.wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current.
