How are we able to calculate how far we’re able to throw things extremely precisely?

1.32K viewsOtherPhysics

For example, if you’re standing 20 feet away from me, and you tell me to throw you a ball, how is my arm able to generate almost the exact amount of power required to throw the ball 20 feet? How and where does this “calculation” happen?

Theres also a huge window for an acceptable throw, so it’s not all that precise.

The receiver can move their arm to compensate, and while there may be a minimum power to reach a position, you can still reach a target with “too much” power and be on target.
