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?
In: Physics
Experience. You don’t magically know exactly how hard to throw a ball. And you aren’t doing differential equations at light speed to calculate it. It’s just experience. You throw a ball once and it went too far. The next time you throw a little easier and it’s too short. So you narrow down the amount of power behind a throw until it’s just right.
