What does Cosmic velocity - second represent?

It is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape a celestial body's gravitational pull without further propulsion.

Why convert Cosmic velocity - second to Yard/second?

Converting to Yard/second allows expressing escape velocity in more familiar imperial units, useful in sports, ballistics, and industrial fields.

Are conversions always exact between these units?

The conversion follows a fixed rate, but rounding errors can occur due to differences in metric and imperial systems.
