Question

Jake receives a chest pass (basketball=.625 kg) that has a velocity of 10 m/s. To absorb the pass he moves his arms from fully extended right at contact with the ball to right or front of his chest (d=1 meter). How much work is done by the arms to absorb the shock of the basketball? Does the work done to absorb the pass equal the amount of force the arms exert on the ball?
