How do objects become negatively charged using the contact method?
when a negatvely charged object touches a neutrally charged object electrons move to the neutraly charged object making it negativly charged!
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
What happens when an object with a negative charge touches anther object?
Depends on the charge (and conductivity) of the "other" object.
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.
Why do the leaves of an electroscope spead apart when a charged object touches the metal knob?
The charged object charges both leaves of the electroscope with like charges and like charges repel.

What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an charged object?
Induction happens
What is the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object and then grounding the conductor called?
Induction
What happens when you bring a positivly charged object close to a negetevly charged object?
Attraction

It gains electrons. So if it gains electrons, then the neutral object becomes negatively charged as well.
How does A student puts a negatively charged object against a metal cabinet. Describe what happens to the charge on the object when it touches the metal cabinet?
Well the metal would obviously attract a charged particle for its charge less surface. The only possible way would be placing a positively charged object on the other side of the negative charged object such that it could counter effect the coulombian pull on the negative charge due to the metal. To keep the positive charge in place it would need to place it within oppositely charged electronic plates. This needs more amendments but thats another topic. When a charged object touches metal, the end result is usually what is known as a static shock.

What happens to a neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
negatively charged
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.
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)
Why do the leaves of an electroscope spead apart when a charged object touches the metal knob?
The charged object charges both leaves of the electroscope with like charges and like charges repel.
What will happen if a light neutral conductor is brought near a negatively charged object?
They will explode
