could someone explain what happens when (if possible) the kinetic energy of an object with a given mass exceeds that of its rest energy; Is it possible?

Or is it only possible for the kinetic energy to reach equality with its rest energy?

(given of course the object has a given velocity that would cause its gamma to be much much larger than one)
