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?

It’s not calculation, it’s practice and muscle memory. You’ve been analyzing how your actions effect your environment since before you can remember. After thousands of throws you can just kinda feel how far something will go based on how hard you throw and what technique you use.
