Answer: 0.98512 kg·m/s

Explanation: The iPhone 7 Plus weighs 188 grams.

Using the equation
V =
\sqrt{u^(2) + 2as },

We take the initial velocity "u" as 0, and the acceleration "a" as 9.81, and the distance "s" as 1.5. We get the final velocity "V" to be 5.24 meters per second.

The equation for momentum is p = mv, where P is momentum, M is mass, and V is velocity. Taking the Mass as 0.188 Kg and the Velocity as the previously calculated 5.24 m/s, we find the momentum to be 0.98512 kg·m/s

Thanks for the question, that was fun lol!
