All the tech we rely on, from cars to smartphones, was engineered using physics<\/a>. You don\u2019t need to know the science to use these things. But a well-rounded human should understand at least some of the key concepts\u2014along with some music, art, history, and economics. Robert Heinlein said it all in Time Enough for Love<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cA human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, in the interest of not being insects, here\u2019s my top-five physics equations you should know.<\/p>\n

1. Newton\u2019s Second Law<\/p>\n
