The gravitational force between two objects always acts to attract them together.
Electrically charged objects can attract if they have opposite charges, or repel if they have the same type charge.
Thus only gravity could have caused matter in the universe to condense together and eventually form stars and planets.

∙ 12y agoIt all depends, what do you mean by attraction? If the question is related to gravitational attraction.
Like the gravitational attraction between planet earth and our moon, then the answer is yes.
Every object that has mass, contains some level of gravity. Even you and I have some level of gravitational attraction, just like our planet does, but it all depends on the mass of the object, the more mass the object has the more the gravity it contains, or the more it attracts other objects.
For example, the planet Jupiter has more gravitational attraction than Earth, because it is more massive.
But if you are comparing two objects like baseballs, there is still some kind of gravitational attraction, but it is so minuscule that's it is practically unmeasurable.
In summary, every object attracts every other objectto some degree, even if it is too small to detect.

∙ 12y agoNo, two identical objects wouldn't become statically charged if you were to rub them together because they have like charges causing them to repel from one another.

When two poles unlike poles are brought together. What happens?
They repel each other.
Which two particles would be attracted to each other?
The particles with similar charges with repel each other, This is commonly observed i n the magnetic poles where if one places the like poles that is two north poles or two south poles together it will repel reach other. This principle is very important to remember that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
What happens when charged objects are brought near uncharged objects?
well if two bodies negatively charged are brought near each other, then there is a strong force of repulsion, as the electrostatic lines of forces terminate at these bodies, they exert later pressure on each other, hence the bodies repeal each other
The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe without exception?
attract each other
Do opposite charges attract each other?
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
What does a charged object do to another charged object?
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.
What is the law of the universal gravitation?
That any two object in the universe without exception, attract each other.
What happens when a positive object touches a positive object?
I believe that they will push away from each other. Only opposites attract.
The measurement of the force gravity on an object is the object's?
The strength of the mutual forces of gravity that attract two objects toward each other is called the "weight" of each object in the presence of the other one. The strength of the mutual gravitational forces that attract you and the earth toward each other is called your weight on the earth. Nobody cares about the earth's weight on you, but it's exactly the same number.

How do charged objects interact with each other differently from the way a charged object interacts with neutral objects?
Two objects that are similarly charged will repel, while two objects with opposite charges will attract. Moreover, a neutral object will attract either charges
Amount of force gravity exerts on an object?
The strength of the mutual forces of gravity that attract two objects toward each other is called the "weight" of each object in the presence of the other one. The strength of the mutual gravitational forces that attract you and the earth toward each other is called your weight on the earth. Nobody cares about the earth's weight on you, but it's exactly the same number.
When two opposite electrical forces are near each other what will happens?
they will attract
When two objects have the same charges they attract each other?
They do not. Rather, objects with opposite charges attract each other.
Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?
"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.
What do objects with unlike charges do?
When unlike charges are brought together they attract eachother.
What does attract mean in sciencs?
It means how two things attract to each other. Such as the North and South pole of two magnets
