It seems like the subconscious understands complex math like velocity equations better than the conscious does. For example, I dropped one of my headphones not long ago, before I fully realized it had left my ear I had already caught it on my shoulder by instinct alone. How does our brain know roughly how far down the headphone would have been? It appears to do the conscious action of mathematical equations for distance and velocity before I can even comprehend what’s happening, how?

It doesn’t. Mathematics and physics and abstractions of our experience of the world. Your body’s motion and knowledge and learned by practice and experience, not by any mathematical knowledge.
