Put the ball on a scale.

To find the mass of a soccer ball, you would typically use a scale designed to measure the weight of objects in grams or kilograms. Simply place the soccer ball on the scale, and the displayed weight can be considered the mass of the ball.
The average mass of a regulation size 5 soccer ball is typically between 14-16 ounces or 400-450 grams.
Yes, the mass of a typical bowling ball is greater than the mass of a soccer ball. A regulation bowling ball usually weighs around 6-16 pounds, while a standard soccer ball weighs about 0.4-0.5 pounds.
When you kick a soccer ball, it accelerates due to the force of your kick. This acceleration is dependent on the mass of the ball, with heavier balls requiring more force to accelerate than lighter ones. Additionally, the mass of the ball influences how it interacts with other objects in motion, such as players or the goalpost.
Any amount of force can stop either kind of ball. But a greater force is required to stop a bowling ball than to stop a soccer ball IN THE SAME TIME, because the bowling ball has more mass, and therefore more momentum and more kinetic energy.
The bowling ball is denser than the soccer ball, meaning it has more mass packed into the same volume. This is due to the material and construction of the bowling ball, which is designed to weigh more for the sport it is used in.
