The answer put simply is yes. The higher you are the more distance you will cover. The increase isn't very dramatic at all. Also, the higher up, the thinner the air. Thinner air is less resistance. Interesting question- thank you.

Why airplans take different times to go or to come from a place?

Some people want to travel during the day, some want to travel at night, some planes travel faster than other planes, some planes fly a short distance, some fly a long distance. Sometimes the weather effects the way planes fly.


If a space shuttle goes into a higher orbit what happens to its period?

If a space shuttle enters a higher orbit, its period increases. This is because the higher the orbit, the greater the distance to travel around the Earth, which results in a longer time for one complete orbit.


Will cannonball travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. why?

Yes, a cannonball will generally travel farther if shot from a longer cannon. A longer cannon gives the cannonball more time to accelerate and build momentum before exiting the barrel, resulting in a higher initial velocity and longer travel distance.


Can planes fly higher than mt Everest?

Yes they do. Go to www.mountainflights.com. For about USD 165 you can fly over Mount Everest. All flights leave from Kathmandu, Nepal.


What does it mean to travel at 60 miles per hour?

It means that if you travel for an hour you will have covered a distance of 60 miles. If you travel for a longer or shorter time you will cover a proportionally longer or shorter distance.


Why is a plane faster than a boat?

Planes are faster than boats because they can travel through the air, which has less resistance than water. Additionally, planes follow a direct route from point A to point B, while boats may need to navigate around land masses or other obstacles in the water. Lastly, planes can travel at higher speeds due to their propulsion systems, making them more efficient for long-distance travel.


Why do planes travel faster than cars?

There are really too many reasons to make an exhaustive list, but it has a lot to do with suspensions, rolling friction vs. wind resistance, obstacles and hazards, and the propulsion systems used.


How does the bounciness of golf ball effect the distance that it will travel?

The greater the bounciness of a golf ball, the more energy it retains upon impact with the club. This results in higher initial velocity and longer distance traveled. Golf balls with higher elasticity or compression will generally travel farther than those with lower bounciness.


Why is the distance people have to travel to get somewhere often longer than the actual distance between two places?

The distance people have to travel between two places can be longer than the actual distance due to factors like road layout, traffic congestion, detours, and mode of transport. These factors can result in a longer travel time than what a straight-line distance suggests.


What is the relation between frequency and distance of propagation?

Do travel nurses travel throughout the country or is the travel radius usually smaller?

Travel nurses can travel longer distances, but most work within a smaller radius. It depends on your personal needs; if you are available to travel longer distances for longer assignments, agencies will often find more work for you at higher rates.
