Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere, sentence 4
Where there is little friction, motion lasts: a curling stone or a skateboard on a smooth path rolls on and on after one push.
Who acts: little friction, motion, curling stone · What happens: be, last, roll
This is a sentence of the lesson «Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere» 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 (little friction, motion, curling stone), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
