A soccer ball must have a circumference of 68-70cm and a weight of 410-450g
Size 1
These mini-balls are only used for promotional purposes. They are normally made of synthetic material, built up in 32 panels, and they do not exceed 43 cm (17 in) in circumference.
Size 2
This size ball is sometimes used in promotional tournaments and during trainings for children. It is the same size ball used for playing by children under 4. The size 2 association football ball is made of synthetic material, plastic or PVC and it is not bigger than 56 cm (22 in) or heavier than 280 g (10 oz). It is the perfect size ball for practising drills and for improving one's handling skills.
Size 3
The size 3 association football balls are used by players under 8 because the balls are light (they do not weigh more than 340 g (12 oz) and fairly small (61 cm (24 in) in circumference). They are usually made of 32 stitched or glued panels of synthetic materials or PVC. This is also the official size of balls used in handball.
Size 4
The size 4 balls are the standard balls for futsal but they may also be used in practices by players between 8 and 12 years old. They are spherical, weighing no more than 370 g (13 oz) and with a maximum circumference of 66 cm (26 in). They are normally made of leather or other suitable materials.
Size 5
This is the standard ball size with a circumference 69 cm (27 in) ± 0.5 cm (0.20 in) for the FIFA Approved standard (± 1.0 cm (0.39 in) for the lesser FIFA Inspected standard)[7] used in official FIFA championships all over the world. It is also the most widely used size of ball by players 12 years old or older. A size 5 association football ball could also be made from polyurethane. It is a less soft material that still retains a good feel and is much more durable. This material is a type of plastic, so it can increase the life of the ball dramatically.

What is the official size of a soccer ball?
The official size of a soccer ball is not more than 70 centimeters (27 inches) in circumference and not less than 68 centimeters (26 inches) in circumference. And in case a question arises regarding the metric units not being the exact equivalent of the standard or English units (or vice versa), refer the inquiring individual to the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the world governing body of soccer and the ultimate authority on the game and its rules. The dimensions are right out of the official Laws of the Game that they publish.
What are 4 control variables when rolling ball in inclined plane?
The size of the ball. The weight of the ball. The angle of the inclinned plane. The length of the inclined plane
Do the pentagons and the hexagons on its surface help the soccer ball do anything?
Yes, in theory: the number of panels a ball has determines the movement and spin a player can create due to reduced drag from less edges and vertices. The size and weight of an official ball must comply with FIFA guidelines. The current World Cup match ball (adidas' Jabulani) has 8 panels, none of which are hexagons or pentagons. The materials used are also in constant evolution: the Jabulani is not made of traditional leather, but of textured ethylene-vynil acetate (EVA).
