What is Cosmic velocity - second?

It is the minimum speed an object must reach to escape a celestial body's gravitational field without additional propulsion, used in orbital mechanics.

Why convert Cosmic velocity to foot/second?

Converting to foot/second helps apply astrophysical speed data in US customary units commonly used in engineering, ballistics, and fluid dynamics.

Is this conversion useful for everyday speed measurements?

No, cosmic velocity is a highly specific astrophysical speed mostly relevant for scientific and aerospace applications, not day-to-day speed tasks.
