TBS04: OT

One little thing - you need to change the kmh to meters/sec before you go further.
So, the 80 kmh ( divide by 3.6) is about 22 m/s.
Your acceleration then will be correct, accoring to your formula. 22/0.05 = 440 m/s^2

The trick about this riddle is that you have to use the acceleration in three different formulas:
first, as above to get the acceleration.

Then, in the formula F=m.a to get the force of the punch.
(m is Sugar Ray's fist).

Once you have the force, you have to use yet another formula
with acceleration ( reverse the force formula) to get the acceleration of Goofy's head: a= F/m (here m is Goofy's head).

Happy hunting!
