Can a radioactive object make another object radioactive when it touches it?

Mostly no, but it depends on the nature of the two objects. Radioactive objects are usually emitters of alpha particles (helium nuclei), beta particles (electrons), and/or gamma rays (high-energy photons). None of those will usually induce secondary radioactivity in other objects. However, if neutrons are emitted, they can often penetrate the nuclei in another object, and if successfully absorbed there, can produce an unstable (radioactive) isotope.
Also, if the source radioactive object is producing radon gas as a decay product, that can also be absorbed by some materials and start generating radiation there. (This does not require that it be "touching".)

Why nearer objects look bigger?
Because they are closer to your line of vision. . . imagine you are 10 meters away from an object. imagine you have these lines coming out of your eyes , and one of the lines touches the top edge of the object , and another line touches the bottom edge of the object. now imagine the object is 5 meters closer to you. the distance between the top edge and the bottom edge is greater because you are closer to the object. .. OK to make this simpler , -- your eye is like the top of a tweezers. you put a pen(object) between the tweezers. as you move the pen closer to the top of the tweezers , the two prongs widen, making a bigger distance, and from your viewing point at the top of the tweezers the object appears bigger.
What causes the temperature of liquids to change?
Temperature of liquid causes when another thing touches it. The molecules will come together and try too make the temperature in both even. So while the hot object losses heat, the cold one will gain.
What happens when a charged object is brought to another oppositely charged object?
There will be flow of electrons from negatively charged object towards the positively charged object making an attempt to make both of them electrically neutral.

Will radioactive fallout make the surface it comes into contact with radioactive?
Remember, radioactive fallout on a surface does not make the surface itself radioactive. The particles themselves are radioactive, not the surface they come in contact with. The surface can usually be cleaned of any contamination
Can an object move because of internal forces?
Things that happen internally can make an object turn in place, but they can't make it move from one place to another.
