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.
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.

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