Per second per second or (/s/s) refers to the rate of acceleration. If you are standing still and you increase your speed at a rate of 5 feet per second per second that means after 1 second you'll be moving at 5 feet per second, after two seconds you'll be moving at 10 feet per second, after three seconds you'll be moving at 15 feet per second, and so on. Every second that goes by, 5 more feet per second will be added to your speed. So 5ft/s/s is a rate of acceleration.
An easier example to understand, instead of per second per second, is per hour per second. If you are in a car that is standing still and you increase your speed at a rate of 5 miles per hour per second that means after 1 second you'll be traveling at 5 miles per hour. After 2 seconds your speed will have reached 10 mph. After 10 seconds you'll be traveling at 50mph. Each second that goes by you add 5mph to the speed.

What does meter per second mean?
meter per second is a unit of rate. It means that it is the distance traveled in meters per one second.
How does one multiply 32 ft per second per second?
So what does acceleration mean. Let's break it down. It is a gain of speed. Your speed here is in ft per second. Now think of it as a gain of 32ft per second with every second that passes. I.e. Something at rest, after 1 second it will be going 32ft per sec. After 2 secs it will be going 64 ft per second and so on.

How much does its speed change after 5 minutes with an acceleration of 470 meters per second?
"470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration. Assuming you mean "470 meters per second square", that is the same as a change of 470 meters per second every second. Just multiply by the number of seconds to get the change in speed."470 meters per second" is a speed, not an acceleration.
