A robot may not injure a human being‚ or through inaction allow it to come to harm‚ 2. A robot must always obey a human‚ unless this conflicts with the first law‚ 3.

factors‚ mass and force. The graph above shows the relationship between acceleration and force as proportional. As the force upon the car in the experiment increased‚ the acceleration of the car increased by a similar proportional. This complies with Isaac Newton’s second law of motion‚ the law of acceleration‚ which describes acceleration and force as two proportional measures in the equation F (force) = m(mass) x Ac(acceleration)‚ also described in the equation Acceleration= force/mass. With this equation
