cos 25 = groud speed/120
ground speed = 108.76 mi/h

What is an analogy for above?
above - sky as below - ground above - airplane as below - subway
Is eggplant an above ground vegetable?
Above ground. The plant blooms, and an eggplant grows from the blossom after pollination.
Why does a fountain pen leak in an airplane?
there is less pressure above the ground so the ink inside it burlge outside and flow in airplane......
How could you make an airplane rise faster into the air?
Increase speed and/or lift. You want the pressure above the wing to be lees than below. In very short times like takeoff, the flaps are increased to sacrifice speed for lift. As the a/c speed increases the flaps are slowly retracted until the wing is at its optimal setting. (Flaps moving is that mechanical noise you hear during takeoff and landing).
Is scoria formed above ground or underground?
Scoria is formed above ground during volcanic eruptions.
What is the meaning of 'V2' speed in aviation?
In aviation, 'V2' speed refers to the takeoff safety speed. It is the minimum speed at which an aircraft can safely continue a takeoff in the event of an engine failure. Pilots use V2 speed as a reference point during the takeoff phase to ensure the aircraft has enough performance to safely climb and maneuver.
Is it safer below or above the ground during an earthquake?
Above ground. If you are below ground then there is something above you and this may collapse on you. The safest place to be during an earthquake is on the ground out in the open where nothing can fall on you. Earthquakes do not kill many people directly, it is falling buildings that do that.
What is it called when an aircraft is landing and it keeps alike 'floating' above the Runway before touching down?
An airplane begins its "Flare" once it enters "ground effect. Ground effect is what causes the airplane to float because of an increase in lift(what makes an airplane fly). This increase is caused by induced drag, created by the production of lift.
How many miles up are you if are 35015 feet in an airplane?
35,015 feet = 6.632 miles (rounded)Your distance above the ground is(35,015 minus the AMSL of the ground directly under you)/5,280 miles
What is the abbreviation for 'altitude'?
Alt Sometimes, pilots refer to AGL which stands for "Above Ground Level". This is the distance from the ground to the airplane. If the plane flys at a level pressure altitude, this distance can change with the terrain.
If you were born on a airplane where would you be born?
what ever country the airplane was above
What magma is called after it erupts above ground?
Magma is called lava once it erupts above ground. Lava is molten rock that flows from a volcano during an eruption.
