No, a rock cannot speed up on its own to reach a higher orbit. A change in orbit requires an external force, such as propulsion or gravity assists.
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
It is mostly rock, and rubble. ~Rainbowman
The final speed of the rock will be 32 m/s. The escape speed of the asteroid does not affect the speed of the rock once it has been propelled away from the asteroid. The initial velocity of the rock allows it to overcome the gravitational pull of the asteroid and achieve a final speed of 32 m/s.
A higher percentage of daughter isotopes present in a sample, the older the rock is.
A bit inside the orbit of Mercury, at about 0.3 AU.
Faster in rock. the higher the density, the higher the speed.
Unless the speed of the rock changes, the kinetic energy does not change. If you are talking about a rock that is being thrown, of course the kinetic energy decreases as kinetic energy is converted into potential by the conservative gravitational force.
An object in near-Earth orbit requires a speed of almost 8 kilometers per second to remain in orbit. At any lower speed, it will simply crash to Earth. - Also, pushing the satellite up to its orbit - 200 kilometers above the surface or something like that - requires additional energy.
The duration of Reach the Rock is 1.67 hours.
Reach the Rock was created on 1998-10-16.
At the maximum height, the rock's final velocity will be 0 m/s. You can use the kinematic equation v_f = v_i + at to find the time it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height. Rearranging the equation to solve for time t, where a is the acceleration due to gravity, you can find the time it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.

Meteor.
Comets are small bodies of rock and ice which are in a highly eccentric orbit directly around our sun.
No. A meteorite is a rock that has reached the surface of a planet from space. The meteoroid that there meteorite once was orbited the star.
Impossible. All objects in space have an "orbit" - it just means the path that they're traviling.
