What two charged objects are made to touch each other and then separate?
In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart.
Can object with a static charge can attract only other charged objects?
No. It can exert a much weaker force on neutral objects, due to an induced separation of charges - that is, the charged object will cause a separation of charges in the uncharged object, thus creating an electric dipole.
What does a charged object exert on other charged objects?
It depends on what the charge is on both of the objects. If object 'A' is negative and object 'B' is negative, the two will repel or move away from each other. This is the same if both 'A' and 'B' are positive. However, if one is positive and one is negative, then the two will attract, or move closer.
Why do two objects repel each other?
anions (negatively charged objects) repel cations (positively charged objects)
The force that objects exert on each other because of their masses?
Gravitational Forces

Is the force that objects exert on each other because of their masses?
That would be "Gravity".
What is the pull that all objects exert on each other?
law of attraction

Gravitational Forces
How do neutral objects behave when placed near charged objects?
They repel, same with two negatively charged objects
Do ocean currents have force?
No, because force isn't something you "have". You can have momentum, or velocity, or energy, or acceleration, but you can't "have" a force - you exert a force on something else. Ocean currents have momentum/kinetic energy, and so they do exert a force on the water around them, the air above them, and any other objects in them.
