Yes, a ball will fly farther at high altitude compared to sea level due to the lower air density. With less air resistance, the ball can travel further as it experiences less drag force. Additionally, the reduced gravitational force at higher altitudes can contribute to longer distances traveled.

Will a golf ball or a ping pong ball go the farthest?
A golf ball will fly further than a ping pong ball. The low mass/weight of a ping pong ball makes it more susceptible to air friction. This greater drag on the ball slow it down sooner than the golf ball.
What can you infer about the height at which jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their contrails form cirrus clouds?
Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes, typically between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. When their exhaust gases mix with cold air at these altitudes, the water vapor in the exhaust condenses and freezes, forming contrails which can then spread out and create cirrus clouds. This indicates that the contrails and cirrus clouds are forming at a high altitude where the air is cold enough for the water vapor to freeze.
What flies farther a airplane or hot air balloon?
the airplane will fly farther. This is due to the fact that both the airplane and the hot air balloon use fuel. Also because the hot air balloon only means of movement is wind, While an airplane use jet propulsion. This allows the airplane to travel in any direction
How do planes fly so high?
Planes fly high due to a combination of engine thrust, aerodynamic lift generated by the wings, and the ability to control the aircraft's altitude through adjustments in engine power and control surfaces. As the plane's speed increases, the wings generate lift that counteracts gravity, allowing the aircraft to climb to higher altitudes where the air is thinner and offers less resistance.
Why can't rescue helicopters fly in low air pressure?
I've never heard that. However, helicopters are limited to the altitude that they can hover, which would limit a Rescue helicopter from picking up a stranded mountain climber. In the high altitude, the air is "thinner" which means the air pressure is less. This limits the effiency of the rotor blades. However, usually the first indication of a problem is when a helicopter tries to hover at high altitude and the tail rotor looses it thurst and the helicopter goes into an uncontrolled spin. This was common with the Bell Model 206B. Even though a helicopter may be limited to the altitude at which it can hover, that does not mean it can't fly at that altitude. If a helicopter maintains a high forward air speed, it can still fly over mountains; its only when it stops and hovers that it may have problems.
Why is a baseball hit farther at an higher altitude?
The lower air pressure allows the ball to fly easier through the air.
Does a golf ball go farther go farther when placed at the front or back of stance?
Placing the ball at the back of your stance will effectively make the ball fly lower and farther. By placing the ball at the back of your stance you are decreasing the loft of the club. If you want to hit a high shot move the ball forward but remember it will not go as far.
Another word for fly high?
Flying at altitude
Why does plane not fly at low altitude Why do they usually fly at high altitude?
Better fuel economy. The air is thinner at higher altitudes.
An airplane specifically designed to fly at high altitude may have?
an added tank
How high can a 767 fly?
A Boeing 767 has an altitude limit of about 41,000 feet.
Do golf balls fly farther at higher elevation?
well yes a soccer ball with more air will go further than a soccer ball with no air
How high do long distance passenger jets fly?
They usually fly at an altitude of 30,000 to 35,000 feet, to avoid bad weather.
How far does a golf ball fly when it has been in the sun for an hour?
It doesn't go any farther or shorter when left in the sun.
How high can 747 fly?
The maximum certified operating altitude of the B747 is listed as 45,100 feet.
Why traces of smokes when aircraft fly in high altitude?
That is condensation from hot engines in cold air.
How high does the average plain fly in km?
An average plane flies between 5 to 10 km above the surface of the earth. Planes cannot fly below or above the altitude. After this altitude there is not much air.
