I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s
All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.
1.Density of the material building the raft must be lower than the water.

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.
The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.
Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.
Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.
They have some but not very much, the particles in the ice are still vibrating just not as much as in water. the only time a substance would have 0 kinetic energy is when that substance is at 0 degrees kelvin(absolute zero) so far no place in the universe has been recorded at absolute zero though
