How does the total amount of energy change as the energy is changed from potichal to kinetic?

The total amount of energy doesn't change in this case.


What cause kinetic energy to increase?

Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. This differentiates it from *heat,* a different term, which is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules. As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases (which makes sense, if you're putting more energy into a system, you're probably going to have more total energy).


A collision in which kinetic energy may be transferred between the colliding particles but the total kinetic energy remains the same?

This is called an elastic collision. In this case both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved.
