उत्तर
Yes. Let us consider an elevator accelerating upward with a body placed in it. In this case, the normal reaction offered by the floor of the elevator on the body is greater than the weight of the body acting in the downward direction. If a person is observing this from the ground, then, for him, the normal reaction is doing a positive work, as the elevator is moving upward.
