Assuming that the wood block is fixed and stationary.

(a)
acceleration, a
= (final vel. - initial vel) / time
= (v-u)/t
= (0-16 m/s) / 0.5
= -32 m/s²

(b)
average force
= mass * acceleration
= 0.020 kg * 32 m/s²
= 0.64 newton

(c)
Distance, S
= ut+(1/2)at²
= 16*0.5+(1/2)*(-32)*(0.5^2)
= 8+(-4)
= 4 m
