How do we as humans know how much power to use when launching an object?

259 views

What I mean is, for example, basketball, how do we know how much power to use to make it into the basket or like when you toss a piece of trash into a bin, how do we know how much power and the angle needed to just launch it and make it in the basket. I feel like we all have tossed a piece of trash in the bin, and just instinctively know how how much power to use.

Trial and error. It’s really just “fuck around and find out”.

First we learn how to roll over, then sit up, crawl, walk, run, pick things up, throw stuff. Eventually, through fucking around, finding out and at least three other people, that turns into a two on two basketball game.
