The ball used in Association football (soccer) is called a football or soccer ball. Law 2 of the game specifies the ball to be an air-filled sphere with a circumference of 68–70 cm (or 27–28 inches), a weight of 410–450 g (or 14–16 ounces), inflated to a pressure of 60–110 kPa (or 8.5–15.6 psi), and covered in leather or "other suitable" material.

Well in my opinion, I would say they both weigh in evenly. I love both football and baseball. Here is some interesting facts about both games:\n\nEarly baseball\nA game called "base-ball" had developed in England by the early 18th century, and it continued to be called "baseball" until after 1800. It was mentioned in a book published in 1744 called Little Pretty Pocket-Book. As is the case with all folk games, there were many variations. Similar games were played in America well before 1800.\n\nRules for "baseball" appeared in 1796, in a German book by Johann Guts Muths, who called the game "English base-ball". In the game described by Guts Muths, the number of bases varied with the number of players, and a single out retired the entire side.\n\nIn Northanger Abbey (written 1798), Jane Austen wrote (emphasis added): (Catherine) should prefer cricket, base ball, riding on horseback, and running about the country, at the age of fourteen, to books.\n\nIn 2004, historian John Thorn discovered a reference to a 1791 bylaw prohibiting anyone from playing "baseball" within 80 yards of the new meeting house in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. A librarian found the actual by-law in the Berkshire Athenaeum library, and its age was verified by researchers at the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.\n\nIf authentic and if actually referring to a recognizable version of the modern game, the 1791 document, would be, as of 2004, the earliest known reference to the game in America.\n\n\nIn the Beginning\nThe story of football began sometime during the 19th century in England when a soccer player, frustrated at using only his feet to manipulate the ball, decided to simply pick it up and run with it. Although it was clearly against the rules of soccer, other players soon found the new way of playing soccer appealing and thus, the sport of rugby was born. \n\nThe new sport soon became a world-wide success that found its way into America by the mid-1800s. Played by many northeastern colleges, it was not long before Harvard University and Yale University met in Massachussetts in 1876 to formalize the rules to rugby that were similar to those in England. There were differences however: instead of playing with a round ball, the schools opted for an egg-shaped and the game's name was changed from rugby to football. To finalize the meeting, an organization called the Intercollegiate Football Association(IFA) was created to preside over the Americanized sport. \n\nFootball was still mainly American rugby--much different from the popular sport known today. Over the course of three years starting in 1880, Yale player Walter Camp eventually convinced the IFA to change a series of rules in football to create a game that is very similar today. For that, Camp is considered by historians as the father of modern football.

Official MLB description:\n"The ball shall be a sphere formed by yarn wound around a small core of cork, rubber or similar material, covered with two stripes of white horsehide or cowhide, tightly stitched together. It shall weigh not less than five nor more than 5 1/4 ounces avoirdupois and measure not less than nine nor more than 9 1/4 inches in circumference."\n\nActual construction of the ball:\n"The cork nucleus, enclosed in rubber, is wound with 121 yards of blue-gray wool yarn, 45 yards of white wool yarn, and 150 yards of fine cotton yarn.  Core and winding are enclosed by rubber cement and a two piece cowhide cover hand-stitched with just 216 raised red cotton stitches."

In addition to the first poster, who is correct, MLB baseballs have a cork center.  This is surrounded by blue and red rubber (why the color difference, who knows), and then by string and wooly yarn... in several layers.  The string is the last item before the cover.  Then, the ball is stitched with 108 stitches of red yarn, which hold together 2 figure-8 sections of painted cowhide (they don't use horsehide anymore).  It's been this way, supposedly, since waaaaay back.  Oh, they would never juice the ball :p\n\nAlso, balls tend toward the smaller of the allowed dimensions: optimally, they are 5 oz, 9" in most leagues...

1. You need to know the initial height of the ball from the ground.  I will assume from ground level.\n\n2. Calculate the vertical and horizonal components of the speed.\na^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c = 80 and since it is a 45 angle a=b\n2a^2 = 80^2\na = 56.6 mph (both vertical and horizontal speeds are the same)\n\n2. Now take the vertical speed (56.6mph) and find time it takes to hit the ground.\nSince acceleration due to gravity is -32.2 ft/(s^2)\n56.6 mi/h * 1/60 h/min * 1/60 min/s * 5280 ft/mi = 83 ft/s\nNow using\na=(v2-v1)/t where a is acceleration, v1 = inital velocity, and v2 = final velocity, and t = time it took\n-32.2 = (0 - 83)/t\nt = -83 / -32.2 = 2.58sec\nsince that is the time for the ball to finally reach the top of the arc, multiply by two to get the complete arc\ntotal time in the air = 5.16sec\n\n3. Calculate distance travelled in that time.\nI am leaving air resistance out due to incomplete data (you need mass of the ball, resistance will also change due to the shape, the barometric pressure, etc.)\n5.16s * 83 ft/s = 428.3 ft travelled\n\nEdit:\nSince the distance from the ground is small compared to the velocity of it falling, we can estimate just an additiona 0.04 secs so total time is now 5.20 secs\n\n4. Drag equation\nD = Cd * A * 0.5 * r * V^2\nCd = Drag coefficient\nA = reference area (half surface area of baseball 2pi * r^2 = 3.53 ft^2)\nr = density of air (20 C and sea level is 1.2 kg/m3)\nr = 1.2 kg/m^3 * 2.2 lb/kg * 0.0283 m^3/ft^3 = 0.0747 lb/ft^3\n\nCd can't be calculated since it is different for every object and situation.  Only way for Scientist to find it is using a wind tunnel.\nI cheated and looked it up for a standard baseball it is 0.007 lb/ft\nD = 0.007 * 3.53 * 0.5 * 0.0747 * V^2\nD = 0.0009229 * V^2\nDi = 0.0009229 * 83^2 initial force from drag \nDi = 6.36\nuse F = ma to get the negative initial acceleration\n6.36 = 0.3125 * ai\nai = 20.4\n\n-20.4 = (d/5.20 - 83)/5.20\nd = 120 ft\nThis is only true if the drag stays constant, but it decreases as the velocity decrease (exponentially).\n\nAn estimation can be done by calcing the acceleration after each second, then decreasing velocity due to that acceleration.\nV(i) = 83.0, Drag(i) = 6.36, a(i) = -20.35\nV(1) = 62.7, Drag(i) = 3.62, a(i) = -11.59\nV(2) = 51.1, Drag(i) = 3.41, a(i) = -7.70\nV(3) = 43.4, Drag(i) = 1.74, a(i) = -5.55\nV(4) = 37.8, Drag(i) = 1.32, a(i) = -4.22\nV(f) = 33.6\nAfter adding up the distances travelled after each second (including the 0.2 sec at the final velocity), I come up with an estimate of 284.6 ft travelled.  \n\nThis is still a desent estimate, but there is still additional factors to consider.  The ball may reach terminal velocity on its way down which will increase the time returning to the ground.  This problem at first glance looks simple, but as you can see, it gets complex very quickly.

The ball used in football (soccer) is called a football or soccer ball. Law 2 of the game specifies the ball to be an air-filled sphere with a circumference of 68–70 cm (or 27–28 inches), a weight of 410–450 g (or 14–16 ounces), inflated to a pressure of 60–110 kPa (or 8.5–15.6 psi), and covered in leather or "other suitable" material.\n\nThe weight specified for a ball is the dry weight: older balls often became significantly heavier in the course of a match played in wet weather. The standard ball is a Size 5. Smaller sizes exist; Size 3 is standard for team handball; others are used in underage games or as novelty items.

It was discovered during the annual meeting that the conversion noted in the ball specifications in the rules book are incorrect, and the tolerance for the diameter of the volleyball should be between 25.6 to 26.4 inches, which is less than the 25 ½ to 27 inches currently listed in the rules. Ball manufacturers will be given until the 2007 season to comply with the correct diameter conversion.\n\nThe ball is 9 to 10 oz. in weight, 25-1/2" to 26-1/2" in circumference, 8.5 inches in diameter. Usual inflation is between 4 and 6 lbs. air pressure.:-)

A shire horse (or any other "heavy horse" breed) can weigh up to 2,000lbs.  The average racehorse can weigh up to 1,500lbs, dependent on how tall the horse is.\n\nShire's range in size from 16 to 18 hands (although taller ones have been recorded), and thoroughbreds from as small as 14 hands up to about 17 hands.

The car has almost 700 times the momentum of the ball.\n\nJust to be standard, let's convert everything to kilograms, meters and seconds.\n\nStandard baseball equals 5 ounces or 0.14 kg\n\n150 (km / hr) = 41.7 m / s\n\n41.7 x 0.14 = 5.8 kg·m/s for the baseball\n\n--------------------------------\n\nPT Cruiser is 1446 kg\n\n10 (km / hr) = 2.78 m / s\n\n2.78 x 1446 = 4,020 kg·m/s for the PT cruiser

The average ball lasts 5-7 pitches.  If it touches the dirt it can affect the velocity of the pitchers throw.  You will often see a pitcher throw a ball back to the umpire so he can get rid of it and have the team use it for BP the next day.
