Considering the gallon is a unit of volume (3-D) and square feet it a unit of surface area (2-D), the two are not comparable in this way. Gallons per minute is a rate of flow. Square feet per second is a rate of speed.
You may be referring to gpm /square feet - in other words, the amount of liquid being applied to a specific unit of surface area.
Example:
You are flowing 1000 gpm and you want to know the density of that liquid given an area, say a 100' tank. The surface area of the tank = pi * (50)^2 = 7853 square feet. The density of that liquid = rate of flow / surface area = 1000 gpm/ 7853 sq.ft. = 0.12734 gpm/sq.ft.

If thhe distance traveled for an object moving 70 feet per second would be how many feet?
You also need to know how long it travels. Just multiply the speed with the time. For instance, if the object moves at 70 feet/sec during 1 minute, you multiply: 70 ft/sec x 1 minute = 70 ft/sec x 60 sec. = 4200 feet.
A Ferris wheel has a radius of 25 feet The wheel is rotating a 2 revolutions per minute Find the linear speed in feet per minute of the seat on this Ferris wheel?
1 revolution = 2PI radian. 2 revolutions = 4PI radian The angular speed of the Ferris wheel is 4PI radians . Multiply by the radius. The linear speed is 100PI feet per minute.
If an object travels at 4.5 feet per second how many feet does it travel in one hour?
16,200 feet per hour.
How can clculate return duct size?
There are going to be allot of varying opinions on this one but it's fairly simple to get in a good ball park. You want between 600 to 800 feet per minute of air flow so you need to know the CFM of your air handler and then you can calculate it this way. Ftcube /min divide by Ft / Min = Ft square. At 1200 CFM for a flow rate of 800 Ft/min you get a result of 1.5 square feet which is 216 square inches. If you divide by 8 for the prefab 8 inch duct you need a 27 inch wide dimension or 16 X 13.5. Good luck on your project.
What is the velocity if you travel 882 ft in 5 seconds?
Assuming that you travel 882 feet in a straight line, the average velocity is 882.5 = 176.4 feet per second.
