Yes it does
When two gamma rays (energy) collide they may create a particle and an anti-particle, such as an electron and an anti-electron.
The opposite may happen also
Also, as you accelerate a mass, you give it energy as it goes faster & faster. However, its "relativistic mass" (which you can think of as its "mass") increases, showing energy is being converted into mass.

yes
for example when you have a high energy gamma pass close to a large nucleus you get what is called pair production. Which is where it turns into a electron and a positron.
matter also turns into energy that is how a nuclear reactor works. some of the mass used for bonding nuclei is turned to energy through the fission of large elements or the fusion of small ones.
also E=MC^2 is not the full formula it is the shortened version for non-relativistic speeds.

Yes and the inverse is also true.
It means that when you transform a mass in energy , the energy produced is equal to the product of mass by the square of the speed of light in vacuum.
But it arrives that when you have a photon of very large energy that the photon vanishes and 2 electrons are produced one with a positive and one with a negative charge

i could say no, potential and mass are 2 decrease and dried various issues.confident you will get potential out of a few mass which includes Fuels.. yet all varieties of mass won't produce potential. I actually have a block of timber, i can burn it, and it will produce potential. I actually have a block of steel, till i can wreck down the atomic shape, i would be unable to get potential out of it. Many have stated the cost of sunshine is a boundary. in basic terms as became into stated with reference to the cost of sound. i think at some point in the close to destiny there'll be a wreck with the aid of in the cost of sunshine, and we can see issues like in no way till now. I constantly say dream and dream vast, attain for the Universe. we've no limits different than those we place on ourselves.

Yes. This equation establishes the interconveribility of mass and energy. Einstein established that matter is nothing but pure energy.

Yes.
At extremely high speed mass will give out light (close to the speed of light) and disintegrate. Our earth is moving at about 67000 MPH and also rotating at equator at 1076 MPH. Does not disintegrate.
At re-entry shuttle grows but that is from the friction with atmospheric gasses.

Yes, the equation works both ways. No mystery there.

yeah, pretty much
and that mass can become energy
