it affects how far it can fly
the lenngth of the staw affects it because in different sizes there is low or high pichtes depending on the size it is creates a low or high pitch
A short air column produces a shrill note of higher pitch than a longer air column.
Max length of a straw sucking water is around 10.3 meters. Pressure at sea level is 1 atm. If you just divide 10.3 by 11, you'll have the value you need.

It depends on the length of the straw. I would go get a straw, measure it with a ruler, and multiply that by 1,000,000. So if the straw was 4 inches, it would be 4,000,000. You could also google .... length average "drinking straw".... without the quotes.

depends upon the diameter and length of the straw
A short air column produces a shrill note of higher pitch than a longer air column.
When you blow on the end of the straw, the two pieces of the tip vibrate together. This makes a vibration, which is necessary to make sound. But the tips don't just vibrate at any old frequency. No sir! The vibration travels down the straw, and reflects from the end. This sets up a wave in the air in the straw; the vibration will bounce back and forth between the two ends. It is this vibration that you are hearing! Changing the length of the straw (by clipping it off, or by making a straw trombone) changes the time necessary for the vibration to travel up and down the straw, and so changes the pitch. And making a hole in the straw, so it is like a real flute, lets the vibration bounce off from where the hole is, which will also change the pitch!
not at all.
It depends on the diameter of the straw, which varies. Multiply the diameter by 3.14 and the result by the length of the straw.
