if a freely - falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would its speed reading increase with each second fall?

About 10 meters/second near earth. More or less on other planets. Another way to say it is that the acceleration of gravity is 10 meters/second/second or 10 meters/second^2.

9.81 m/s assuming that the rock is falling in a vacuum. In air, there is something called terminal velocity where objects reach a maximum velocity (speed with a direction) due to the drag of air equaling the force of gravity.

10 m/s

It would increase by 32 ft/second each second.
