What is the depth of the crater if the time is 6.3 s?

An astronaut stands by the rim of a crater on the moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.62 m/s2. To determine the depth of the crater, she drops a rock and measures the time it takes for it to HIT the bottom.
This is a physics question that can, fortunately, be answered with some computation.The answer to this is32. In order to solve this, you need to know what the equation is which is s= ut+ 0.5 a (t)^2 to find out 's'. S stands for distance traveled. U is the initial velocity. T is the time that it took in order to travel a certain distance.
A is acceleration. Acceleration happens because of the gravity that is present on the moon. This will definitely be different if this would be done on earth because of the type of gravity that will be present here on earth.
