Equations like E=mc^2 and stuff like how the force og gravity becomes 1/4 as strong when the distance between the objects dobles. Similarly with braking distance with cars, double the speed and the braking distance quadruples. These all seem to fit so well.
Have we made math to fit so nicely with physics? Am I thinking of all this wrong? Since I feel it like it would be to big of a coincidense that we can so easily use equations to predic physics. What is actually the reason for this?

Someone thought long and hard to come up with equations or inequalities which are mathematically true, and the applications of those equations range from simple to incredibly complex.
Tl:dr; math makes things easier by being hard the first time.
