All Kennedy halves are 30.6 mm in diameter.

The weight depends on the year and metal composition

1964 (90% silver) = 12.5 gm

1965-69 (40% silver) = 11.5 gm

1971-present (copper-nickel) = 11.3 gm

Is a Morgan dollar the same size as a Kennedy half dollar?

Not at all. Remember, at one time the sizes of coins were proportional to their values so a Morgan dollar is (essentially) twice the size of a Kennedy half dollar. Specifically, Morgan dollars are 38 mm in diameter and weigh 26.7 gm when new. JFK halves are 30 mm in diameter and weigh anywhere from 11.34 gm to 12.5 gm depending on their metal composition.

1968 silver half dollar?

No. In the 20th century the U.S. minted true silver dollars (i.e. made of 90% silver) from 1901 to 1904 and again from 1921 to 1935. A trial run of new dollars was made in 1964 but they were never released and all are presumed to have been melted. By 1965 the price of silver had increased to the point where silver coins were worth more than their face value so not only was dollar production again suspended, new lower-denomination coins were struck in cupronickel instead of silver. From 1971 to 1978 a large-size (38.1 mm) cupronickel dollar coin was minted but it only circulated in a few regions of the country. In 1979 the coin was downsized to 26.5 mm, and in 2000 the metal was changed to the gold-colored brass that's used in the current Sacajawea and Presidential dollar coins.

Why a large half copper half silver coin is one penny on one side and one half dollar on the other?

It sounds like someone glued or soldered a U.S. half dollar to a British pre-decimal penny. The two coins are very similar in size. It's an odd novelty.
