Why might footbals travel farther when thrown in areas of higher elevation?

Less air therefore less air resistance. All other variables being the same, the air at higher elevations is less dense, and therefore provides less resistance to the ball flying through it. This allows the ball to travel further with the same force being applied.

If object thrown vertically on moon will it travel farther than one thrown on earth?
Yes, because there is less gravity on the moon. Also, because there is no air friction on the Moon. However, a frisbee thrown on the Moon will not travel as far as one properly thrown on Earth, because the shape of the frisbee generates lift which will keep it flying farther. With no air on the Moon, a frisbee cannot "fly".
How far can a grenade be thrown?

It would fly and roll much farther than if it were thrown in earth's atmosphere due to reduced friction caused by the lack of air.
How much farther does a well thrown football go than a wobbly one?
a spiraled ball goes farther becuase its spiraled motion flows through the air and a wobbly pass does not.
To what extent does the mass of an object effect the distance thrown?
it will cut through the air more quickly and yet go farther
Why would a baseball go higher if it were thrown from the surface of the Moon than if it were thrown with the same velocity from the surface of Earth?
because of 0 gravity

The force of gravity.
How is air resistance related to a catapult?
the ball or whatever object that is thrown has air resistance so it makes it go farther or slower and that's how its related
