You misunderstand the physics: nothing can go faster than light. In theory, you could spend near-infinite amounts of energy on accelerating an object, and it would still end up going a smidgeon slower than the speed of light.
As you get closer and closer to the speed of light, the energy cost of increasing the speed grows exponentially. If you graphed energy cost vs velocity, the graph would asymptotically approach the speed of light as energy costs go to infinity.

Your question is worded wrongly.
Any object that is moving has kinetic energy and this energy changes into mass.Even if you throw a stone, it gains mass the faster it travels but these changes are so minute that they are unnoticeable but if you through a stone at nearer the speed of light the new mass of the stone would follow this equation: m/ sq rt( 1 - (u^2/c^2))
where m= is the rest mass of the stone
u = the speed it is travelling
c = speed of light

I don't think you got that quite right. Nothing can travel faster than light.
Could you please mention the source from which you got that fact?
I've heard that as any moving mass approaches the velocity of light, it's kinetic energy gets converted into mass, to such an extent that it would be quite impossible to make it go as fast as light itself.
I mean, it would keep getting heavier and heavier, so it would get harder and harder to make it move as fast as light - practically impossible, in fact.

Planes go faster than the speed of light as do cars so potentially yes the energy transfer could be faster than the speed of light (v. fast)

no object with a real mass can go the speed of light, much less faster than it. Also, no information or force can be transmitted faster than tha speed

wrong..
Mass is not converted into energy when it reaches the speed of light...
Mass cannot reach the speed of light...
Nothing ( that we know of ) is faster than 186,000 miles per sec.

well, inthe first place nothing can get faster than the speed of light.

Well thax 4 the inform. I think it would happen after hearing ur question but the rate of energy transformation doesnt matter but wat does matter ir the amount of energy
