- A soccer ball is going upward after being kicked
- Going upwards means increasing the altitude
- So, the altitude of the soccer ball is increasing

- A ball is a kind of object
- A soccer ball is a kind of ball
- Hence, a soccer ball is a kind of object

- The altitude of the soccer ball is increasing
- A soccer ball is a kind of object
- As the altitude of an object increases , the potential energy of the object will increase
- So, the potential energy of the soccer ball will increase

Therefore, the potential energy of the soccer ball will increase
