What will happen to the motion of a satellite if the satellite is put into an orbit where there is no sufficient velocity for rotation?

That would be "revolution", not "rotation". Let's assume you need a certain speed for a circular orbit. If the satellite (in this case) has a bit less speed, it will get closer and closer to the Earth, during half of its orbit. While doing this, its speed will increase; during the other half of its orbit, this speed will make it go away from the Earth again. The final result is that it moves around the Earth in an ellipse. This assumes, of course, that it doesn't approach the Earth too much. If it gets too close, it will be slowed down by the atmosphere, and eventually crash to Earth.

What would cause difficulty getting your 1996 Acura Integra out of park?
Be certain you have fully depressed the brake pedal with your foot. If this is so, maybe the switch controlling this is defective. If you are parked on an incline without the parking brake set, this will also happen. Placing the transmission in Park is not always sufficient - one also needs to set the handbrake in case the transmission fails while parked.
When is something going to happen?
when your heart feels if should happen.
What would happen to a satellite orbiting the earth if its velocity increased?
It would move further out of the current orbit. Possibly into an unstable orbit & be flung from earth altogether (however, the people who design satellites are fairly smart and won't allow that to happen)

What will happen if a satellite has velocity which is more than orbital vellocity but less than escape velocity?
If a satellite somehow acquires too much velocity for the orbit it's in, it moves to an orbit for which that velocity is just right. That's how artificial satellites are placed into the desired orbit ... engines are fired to give them the velocity that's correct for the desired orbit, and that's where they go.
