People are Awesome

People truly are incredible. Take a simple act like throwing a baseball, something anyone can be taught to do quite easily. Yet this simple action involves two dimensional motion, rotational velocity, UCM torque and energy. From making sure your arm is fully extended to create more torque, which produces more velocity on the ball, to releasing the ball at an optimal 45 degree launch angle to get maximum distance. Not to mention the transfer of energy, from kinetic to potential as well as non conservative air resistance. Throwing a baseball is really proof humans actually have a very high level of instinctual understanding of physics, something I love to tell myself prior to every exam.
