Kennedy's head got cut off on this 1983 p Kennedy Half Dollar
Does anyone know how this happened? (I'm sorry, I'm new to collecting and don't know much)

In my opinion, from the photo the E and R of LIBERTY look damaged as well. This could be post mint damage (PMD) which is done after it left the mint.
The other possibility to the head is an abraded die. This is where the mint workers got overzealous and polished die the with an abrasive and it scratched away some of the details.
The coin looks heavily circulated, so its some what difficult to know what happened for sure.
a good web site to look for explanation of error coins is:
Look under the completed entries area.
Happy hunting
