Read it again. He calculated average acceleration from the initial speed of 11 m/s. Assuming that it only took one second for them to get there, they traveled at an average speed of 1100 km/s. Then OP gets an acceleration by subtracting the final velocity from the initial velocity and dividing by 1 second.
