Generally, yes. But if the plane is moving very slow and the car is driving really, really fast, then the car is faster.

A lot of stuff. Sound travels at 330 m/s (metres a second), so is faster than cars, planes (well, some...), and even Usain Bolt! However, some planes, and even the whip (so that's what that crackiing noise was! :) can travel faster. Of course, light is much faster!

When would a plane be more useful?

Well, more useful than a what? I would assume you mean a car or train or something akin to that, so here is my answer. Planes are usually a lot faster than cars and most trains, so that is one thing. Another is that there is very rarely traffic in the skies like there is on a major highway at 4pm. However, planes are usually only faster for long term travels. For example, it would be faster in a car from Paris to Berlin than in a plane. Also, I would wager that planes probably are in a long term sense, more efficient that cars considering the plane takes more than one person. Overall, I think planes are better than cars, although only very wealthy people have personal jets and whatnot, so I would say cars for practical use, and planes for official and vacation use (through an airline company, or course).
