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

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?

Well you won’t actually do it right without practice, first of all. You’re making a mistake if you think you’re gonna do it perfectly on the first try.

You do it not by magic, but by doing it over and over again and observing the results and measuring your mistakes and successes against each other after each try.
