Apart from the mass, you must also consider the distance. In the case of the surface gravity, that would be the radius of the planet.
Despite the planet Uranus's immense mass - over 14 times that of Earth - its surface gravity is less than that of Earth, slightly under 90% at the equator (assuming you had something solid to stand on, since the outer envelope is of gaseous hydrogen and helium). This can be explained by its large size or relatively low density - on average, only slightly higher than water - and remembering the further you are away from the source of gravity, the less force you feel per unit mass.
Uranus being extremely massive compared to Earth surprisingly has less gravity than Earth. The low density of Uranus makes Uranus have low gravity. If someone were to stand on Uranus, they would experience 89% of the gravity on Earth.
Uranus mainly has a hydrogen and helium atmosphere, which also contains ices. The ices are frozen water, ammonia and methane. Although a lot larger than the earth, the gravity on Uranus is 0.886g, where one g is the earths gravity. This is due to the relatively low density of the planet.
Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.

No, dense rock does not have low gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that acts on all objects with mass. The density of a rock refers to its mass per unit volume, but it does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.
It doesn't, the gravity is low, so it just makes you jump higher, an object's mass is unchanged.
Momentum = mass * Velocity. Boat has large mass but low velocityBullet has small mass but high velocity.Momentum is a function of speed and mass. A slowly docking boat has a low speed, but the boat will have huge mass, therefore the momentum will be a large amount. The bullet has very low mass, but huge speed, and so, again, the momentum will be large.
Pluto does have gravity but it is very low. Pluto is a large object that was first discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh.
No. Despite being more massive than Earth, the low density resulting large diameter of Uranus result in gravity at the nominal "surface" being slightly weaker than the gravity on Earth. That being said, the "surface" does not actually exist; it is merely the level at which atmospheric pressure is roughly equal to sea level pressure on Earth. A person placed there would fall through the gaseous outer layers of the planet and would be crushed by the extreme atmospheric pressure deep within.
