While it's mostly a phenomenological observation (and not a natural law), many types of movements in humans and animals are well described by a "minimum jerk trajectory" [1]. There's a ton of debate about whether or not the brain is actually computing or optimizing the 'jerk' of your arm at all - or if it just happens to be the consequence of minimizing the effects of noisy neurons and muscles.
