Equations of motion system). Particle does not exert a torque on itself. Some examples of Newton's law include describing the motion of a simple pendulum, and a damped, sinusoidally driven harmonic oscillator, For describing the motion of masses due to gravity, Newton's law of gravity can be combined with Newton's second law. For two examples, a ball of mass thrown in the air, in air currents (such as wind) described by a vector field of resistive forces , where is the gravitational constant, the mass of the Earth, and is the acceleration of the projectile due to the air currents at position and
Three Laws of Robotics "Evidence" Susan Calvin points out that a robot may even act as a prosecuting attorney because in the American justice system it is the jury which decides guilt or innocence, the judge who decides the sentence, and the executioner who carries through capital punishment. Asimov's Three Laws-obeying robots (Asenion robots) can experience irreversible mental collapse if they are forced into situations where they cannot obey the First Law, or if they discover they have unknowingly violated it. The first example of this failure mode occurs in the story "Liar!", which introduced the First Law itself, and introduces failure by dilemma—in
