You won't ever need to do math like the above examples to succeed in FRC.

That said, understanding physics principles (like the ones above) can be helpful and are often a part of the engineering process, which is one of the key parts of FRC.

Keep in mind that the goal of FIRST is to inspire future engineers. You aren't expected to know anything coming in. Learning engineering principles is also a part of the process.
