Acceleration = (change in speed) divided by (time for the change).

From the figures given in the question, the acceleration is ( 49/3 ) = 16.33 m/sec2 .

There's no way that this is happening on the moon. That acceleration is about 67% greater

than the acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface. It should be about 83% less, or about 1.63 m/sec2.

I see the problem now. The '49' in the question should be '4.9'.
