The 'second' referred to is in reference to Degrees Minutes & Seconds Such As:
N 11°22'33" E (example) Where the 33" is the "Seconds".
However in the case listed above, the Degrees, minutes, and Seconds refers to a direction and not a location. The appropriate answer to the question refers to Latitude and Longitude, where you will express the degrees, minutes, and seconds as a location rather than a direction and will appear similar to this:
11°22'33" N, 11°22'33" W (example)
Answer in this scenario:
A degree covers about 69 miles. Divide that by minutes and find that there is about 1.15 miles in a minute. Divide that by 60 and you will find that there is about .019 miles in a second. Since there are 5280 feet in a mile, multiply .019 by 5280 to get about 101.20 feet in a second.
There are APPROXIMATLEY 101.20 FEET between two seconds of latitude or longitude.

About 101.1-ft at the equator, decreasing (as the cosine of the latitude) toward the poles. ,
Additional Information: At the equator . . .
One arc second = 1/60/60 degree = ~30 meter length = ~100 feet.,
One arc minute = 1/60 degree = ~1855 meters ~ one nautical mile ~ 6087 feet.
A second of longitude will correspond to different linear distances according to the latitude.
It corresponds to the longest distance, which is about 30.83 meters, on the equator. On the poles, a second of longitude corresponds to zero distance.
Knowing longitude and latitude are important for anyone who is reading a map or navigating a ship. There are 366,666 feet in one degree of longitude.
I get 72.22 feet.
I could be wrong.
Latitude and longitude are angles. There is no smallest unit. If you move one inch north of where you are right now, you've changed your latitude about 0.00000023 degree, or about 0.000004 milliradian.
1 degree of latitude corresponds to about 69.06 miles on the surface, andit doesn't depend on the longitude. Using that figure, 1 second would be101.3 feet. In the field survey for microwave links, we call it 100-ft.
Canada has the second greatest longitude, meaning it has the second greatest distance from one farthest point to the other. Usually, the largest countries are the longest.
60 kilometers (km) per hour is equal to about 54.7 feet per second.
At the temperature of 20 degrees Celsius the sound travels 343 meters in one second or 1125.328 feet in one second. That is 20580 meters in one minute or 67523 feet in one minute.

30.8 feet in one second.

Nine feet in one second = 6.14 mph

102.7 feet every second at 70mph
One knot equates to about 1.687 feet per second.
830000000 km/hour = 830000000/3600 km/second = 230555.6 km/second = 756,416,010.5 feet/second
60 kilometers (km) per hour is equal to about 54.7 feet per second.
60 miles in one hour is the same as: 88 feet per second.
16,200 feet per hour.
