What happens wheharges in an uncharged metal object rearrang without direct contact with the charged object?

In that case, the fact that the charges are rearranged - there is an electric dipole - can cause the charged object and the object with the zero net charge (but with an electric dipole) to attract one another.

What happens to an uncharged object when it comes in contact with a charged object.After the object that was charged lost electrons and the uncharged object gained electrons?
It becomes charged. (negatively)

What kind of charge will a uncharged body develop when a positively charged body is brought in contact?
Negative charge.
What is rearrangement of electrons on an uncharged object without direct contact with a charged object?
This phenomenon is known as electrostatic induction.
What are induced charges?
Due to an object nearby, the electrons move to a specific direction as they are either attracted or repelled by it. Such as if there is a negatively charged object near an uncharged object, the electrons in the uncharged object will move as far away from the negative object as possible, and this is what you called an induced charge.
Is electrostatic force a contact or non-contact force?
Static electricity is a non contact force because : Whether an object is charged by conduction or induction or even by friction they acquire a charge and the objects acquire opposite charge in induction and friction but same charge in conduction. So when the charged body is brought near an uncharged body if they have opposite charge they will be attracted towards the charged body due to the movement of ionic particles.
