Imran has three different seeds, each with a different shape. He wants to investigate which seed will be dispersed over the furthest distances. He drops each seed from a height of 2 metres and measures how far the seed travels horizontally.
| Seed | Distance travelled (cm) | Distance travelled (cm) | Distance travelled (cm) |
