Best Answer
You get one free object interaction on your turn.
As part of your turn, you get to interact with one object for free:
But a second object would require your action (see the next section of this answer):
You can Use an Object for a second object.
If you need to interact with a second object, you can take the Use an Object action:
There are some exceptions.
The 5th edition of D&D is a game of exceptions. For example, when you attack with a weapon requiring ammunition, drawing the ammunition is a part of making the attack (it doesn't use up the free object interaction mentioned above). There may be other such exceptions. If an object can be interacted with in an exceptional way, the rules for that object, one of your features, or a game option will mention it.
