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

257 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.

Previous experience. Put someone on a basketball court and they will likely fail miserably making the simplest shot. Let them practice, practice, practice and they get the feel for it.
