Fuels, the Sun and saving energy, sentence 12
A falling object turns the energy of its height into speed, so a glass dropped from higher up hits harder.
Who acts: falling object, glass · What happens: fall, turn, drop, hit · To what, where: energy, speed, glass, higher
This is a sentence of the lesson «Fuels, the Sun and saving energy» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (falling object, glass), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
