The astronaut is accelerating towards the moon and is this acceleration is given by 
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The astronaut is accelerating at 
, towards the moon
The net force acting on the astronaut is:
, where 
is the normal force on astronaut by spacecraft .
Then:
is acceleration due to gravity in moon and is expressed as:
,where 
is the mass of the moon and 
is the distance of Astronaut from the surface of moon
