What does Cosmic velocity - first measure?

It measures the minimum tangential speed needed for a stable circular orbit at a celestial body's surface.

Why convert Cosmic velocity - first to foot/hour?

To express extremely high orbital speeds in a very slow imperial speed unit, which is useful for comparative or specialized applications.

Is foot/hour suitable for orbital speed representation?

Foot/hour is generally used for very slow speeds and is only appropriate for orbital speeds when used for comparative analysis due to the large scale difference.
