No. Energy has an ASSOCIATED mass. There is no such thing as mass-to-energy conversion, or energy-to-mass conversion. In a nuclear reaction, for example, BOTH mass and energy are CONSERVED. For a more detailed explanation, check the Wikipedia article on "binding energy".

What happens to the potential energy of an object if the mass is halved?
I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".
When is energy converted to mass?
One instance, when a particle is accelerated with sufficient kinetic energy, that energy can change into mass in the form of subatomic particles.
How does the kinetic energy change if the objects mass is twice as large?
Assuming the larger mass is moving at the same speed as the original mass, the kinetic energy will double.
How are the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass similar?
In both cases, something is conserved - it doesn't change over time.Also, mass and energy are equivalent. If something has energy, it has mass, and vice versa.
Does density and volume change the ability to change energy?
yes because density = volume/mass
What does the law of conservation of mass - energy state?
It states that energy can change but mass can not change Chuma.C
Why does the law of conservation of energy have to include changes in mass?
It doesn't really have to - there is no such thing as "mass-to-energy conversion", rather, a change in energy will be accompanied by a change in mass. But the change in mass sometimes simplifies calculations.
How do you calculate change in energy?
The change in potential energy is equal to mass*gravity*change in height

What is matter and the law of conservation of matter?
The total amount of mass-energy in a closed system cannot change. Energy can change from one form to another, Mass can change from one form to another, Energy can change to Mass, or Mass can change to Energy; but the total must remain constant. Since Mass and Energy are traditionally measured in different units, we need a units conversion equation to tell us how much of each has changed to the other to get the equations right. Einstein provided us with that from his Special Relativity: E = Mc2
Does an object mass change potential energy?
Kinematics
What is conserved during any change color volume identity or mass?
The answer is mass. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that when a chemical or physical change takes place, you end up with the same amount of mass that you started in. It may just be in a different state, such as a gas.
What give something kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy depends on mass, and speed. Since you can't easily change an object's mass, you would basically change its speed.
Energy has no mass or volume but can cause a change in?
Energy can cause a change in energy of other bodies-gives them energy.. Energy can cause energy changes eg dropping a basket ball,kinetic(motion) to sound energy(we may hear it bounce) Energy and mass are proportional.This follows from the equation: E=mc(squared) where e is energy and m is mass.
How does the kinetic energy change if the objects mass is twice as large?
Assuming the larger mass is moving at the same speed as the original mass, the kinetic energy will double.
What energy do you use when spliting or fusing a atom?
The energy provided when splitting or fusing an atom is binding energy - the energy that holds the atom together. When you change the configuration of the atom, you change the amount of binding energy required. Excess energy is released and we use it for other things, such as heating water and making steam. There is also a change in mass of the atom and its constituents, and that change in mass represents a change in energy. (Einstein: E = MC2)
