Now for the thng that your sir said.

Normal reaction cannot produce motion..

See normal reaction cannot produce motion in reference frame in most cases. But it does not prevent it from causing motion in earth frame...

So the normal force, like any other force will cause a motion or an acceleration.

I will give an example...
