Is that realistic? Do ants see us like that?

It’s the cube-square law. Take Aeroplanes for an example. If you double their length in each dimension they are 2x2x2 larger and heavier and more power. The speed is determined by when the engine power is equal to air resistance, air resistance is given by cross-section times Velocity²(P=AV²). So power is 2³ times more, but cross-section is 2² so Velocity²=2 or Speed is only root 2 or only 1.41 instead of being twice as fast.
So if a plane is twice in length it is 8 times bigger but would only travel 1.41 times as fast.
Or if you want to go twice as fast you would need to be 4 times in length or 64 times larger.
