  1. The equation of kinematics for an object under freefall from rest:
    h = v0 t + (1/2)at²
    initial velocity, v0 = 0 m/s
    acceleration, a m/s/s
    height dropped, h m
    time to drop, t seconds
    Solve for a.

  2. Half the acceleration is 16. I got 32 m/s^2 for the planet's acceleration.
