No, a frictionless surface cannot exert a normal force because the normal force is a force exerted perpendicular to the contact surface and is necessary to counteract the force of gravity or any other downward force. Without friction, there is no need for a normal force to counteract any horizontal force component.

What happens when three blocks are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface?
When three blocks are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface, they will remain stationary and not move because there is no force acting on them to cause them to move.
What kind of force will a stack of magazines exert on a table?
The stack of magazines will exert a downward force on the table, known as the force of gravity. Additionally, there will be a force perpendicular to the table's surface, known as the normal force, which will counteract the force of gravity and prevent the magazines from falling through the table.
What happens when three blocks are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface?
When three blocks are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, they will remain stationary unless an external force is applied to them. If a force is applied to one of the blocks, it will move in the direction of the force, while the other blocks will remain stationary due to the absence of friction.
What is the work done against the gravity when a body is moved horizontally along a frictionless surface?
No work is done against gravity when a body is moved horizontally along a frictionless surface because the force of gravity acts perpendicular to the direction of motion. Work is only done when a force is exerted in the direction of motion.
When your weight is greater than mg and when your weight is zero?
When your weight is greater than mg, the normal force acting on you will be greater than your weight, resulting in an upward force. When your weight is zero (for example, during free fall), the normal force is also zero as there is no contact surface to exert a force on you.
How do you escape from a frictionless room?
If you are in a frictionless room, you can't push off of anything to exert enough force to move away. However, if you have a bottle of compressed gas or liquid, the force of the escaping gas from the container will exert a reaction force to push you where you need to go. If you are near a wall, you can push off of that.
Which force is responsible for holding a car in a frictionless banked curve?
The Horizontal Component of the normal force.

When you sit in a chair it exert against you?
normal force
When and object slides over a smooth horizontal surface how does the force of friction depend on the force of gravity on the object?
If the surface is smooth then it is almost frictionless. Hence the body will continue to move with constant velocity. However the object continues in a circular path and the weight is thus the centripetal force. It is assumed that the surface is very large)
What happens when three blocks are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface?
When three blocks are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, they will remain stationary unless an external force is applied to them. If a force is applied to one of the blocks, it will move in the direction of the force, while the other blocks will remain stationary due to the absence of friction.
What will happen if you apply a force on top of a disk kept on a frictionless surface?
The disc will slow down as a result of the friction applied by the force.
What is the work done against the gravity when a body is moved horizontally along a frictionless surface?
No work is done against gravity when a body is moved horizontally along a frictionless surface because the force of gravity acts perpendicular to the direction of motion. Work is only done when a force is exerted in the direction of motion.

What is the force called that is used when you stand rest of a floor and the flood exert an upward force?
The force is called normal force. It is a reactionary force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. In the context of standing on a floor, the normal force from the floor acts in the upward direction to balance the downward force due to gravity acting on the person.
Which surface would exert the least frictional force on your feet as you walk?
Teflon, Ice or an oiled surface.
