That depends on where it is. If it's on the surface of the Earth, then the forces of
gravity in both directions between the block and the Earth are about 9.807 newtons
(2.204 pounds). But if you take the block to the moon's surface, for example, then the
forces of gravity in both directions between the block and the Moon are about
1.62 newtons (5.84 ounces).

Can the force of gravity on a 1 kg mass ever be more than on a 2 kg mass?
Not if they're in the same place, or simply on the same planet. But if the 1 kg is on the Earth and the 2 kg is on the moon, then the force of gravity on the 1 kg is 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds), and the force of gravity on the 2 kg is only 3.2 newtons (0.730 pound). And if the 1 kg is on ANY planet, and the 2 kg is in space, then the force of gravity on the 1 kg is something, and the force of gravity on the 2 kg is approximately zero.
Does a 2-kg iron brick have as much inertia as a 1-kg block of wood?
No
What Kind of Force is used if hold 1 kg in hands?
Normal Force from your hands on the 1 kg object. Gravity is being acted on the 1 kg object.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
Can electronic balance measure mass?
What is registered on the scale is weight or force, at the earths surface 1 kg mass = 1 kg weight, if you put 1 kg mass on the scales at two earth radius, it would weigh 0.25 kg Equation concerned is: force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

How much would a 72-kg astronaut weigh on Ceres?
About 2.4 kg, the gravity on Ceres is 1/30th that of Earth
Does a 2-kg block so solid iron have twice as much mass as a 1-kg block of iron?
yes
Which will float on the water 1 kg block of wood or 1 g block of aluminum?
wood
How much would an object with a mass of 5 kg weigh on Planet A?
Well you would need to know the force of Gravity on the surface of Planet A to answer this. The equation to use would be 5 multiplied by the force of gravity on Planet A = the weight in kilograms. So if Gravity on planet A was twice that on Earth then it would weigh 10Kg and if it was 1/2 that on Earth it would weigh 2.5 kg.
Would people weigh heavier on the moon?
The moon's gravity is 1/6 the force of Earth's gravity, so you would weight 1/6 as much on the moon than on the Earth. For example, if you were 120 kg on Earth, you would be 20 kg on the Moon. (120 / 6 = 20)
Does a 2-kg iron brick have as much inertia as a 1-kg block of wood?
No
Does 2 kg iron brick have as much volume as a 1 kg block of wood?
No.

How does the force of gravity on pluto compare to the force of earth?
Compared to earth, the force of gravity on pluto is weak, about 1/17 th that of earth, so 100 kg mass on pluto would "weigh" 100/17 = 5.9 kg
Would you expect the force of gravity one kilometer above the moon to be stronger or weaker than the force of gravity at it's surface?
The effect of gravity would be less, a 1 kg mass at the moons surface would be under a force of 1.623 newtons, 1 km above the surface, it would be 1.621 newtons
