Euler's laws of motion each governed by Newton’s laws of motion, then Euler’s equations can be derived from Newton’s laws. Euler’s equations can, however, be taken as axioms describing the laws of motion for extended bodies, independently of any particle distribution. The total body force applied to a continuous body with mass , mass density , and volume , is the volume integral integrated over the volume of the body: where is the force acting on the body per unit mass (dimensions of acceleration, misleadingly called the "body force"), and is an infinitesimal mass element of the body. Body forces and contact forces acting
Three Laws of Robotics "Lucky Starr" series of young-adult fiction. The Laws are incorporated into almost all of the positronic robots appearing in his fiction, and cannot be bypassed, being intended as a safety feature. Many of Asimov's robot-focused stories involve robots behaving in unusual and counter-intuitive ways as an unintended consequence of how the robot applies the Three Laws to the situation in which it finds itself. Other authors working in Asimov's fictional universe have adopted them and references, often parodic, appear throughout science fiction as well as in other genres. The original laws have been altered and elaborated on by Asimov and
