The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.
Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.
Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

Answer: 4.7m/s²
Explanation:
According to newton's first law,
Force = mass × acceleration
Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.
Mass = 2.0kg
F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)
Adding component wise, we have;
F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j
F1+F2 = 8i-5j
Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;
R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²
Since i.i = j.j = 1
R² = 8²+5²
R² = 64+25
R² = 89
R = √89
R = 9.4N
Our resultant force = 9.4N
Substituting in the formula
F = ma
9.4 = 2a
a = 9.4/2
a = 4.7m/s²
Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²
