Yes. Many phrasals can separate the verb from its particle:

Make up one's mind = make one's mind up
Turn on the radio = turn the radio on.

If it uses a pronoun object, though, they must be separated:

turn it on NOT (X) turn on it.

Other phrasal verbs cannot be separated:

Look after
Call on
Run into
etc.
