Final answer:

False. The increase in height does not increase the rock's kinetic energy, but rather its potential energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. When a rock is thrown into the air, its height increases, and therefore its potential energy increases. As it falls to the ground, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. So, the increase in height does not increase the rock's kinetic energy, but rather its potential energy.
