Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. There's are formula's for such problems which are called kinematics equations. Look em up. One of them doesn't have t (time) in them you would normally use that one to solve this problem. 16/2/20=a=0.4m/s^2

I did it for you but please look it up, understand and memorize it ;)
