Answer:

Moon move in 14 s = 7 arc second.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that moon mover 0.5 degree in 1 hour

In 1 hour the Moon move 0.5 degrees = 1800 arc second.

So, in 1 sec the Moon move
s =(1800)/(3600) = 0.5\ arc\ second.

therefore in 14 second the Moon moves


= (0.5* 14)

In 14 second = 7 arc second.
