Question

The motion of blades of a ceiling fan is an example for which type of motion ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

circular motion

This type of motion is called circular motion. The motion of a point marked on the blade of an electric fan or the hands of a clock are examples of circular motion. The electric fan or the clock by themselves are not moving from one place to another. But, the blades of the fan rotate and so do the hands of a clock.

Answer 2

Motion of blades of a ceiling fan is an example of rotational motion. The rotation occur about an axis that is fixed.

Explanation:

• Rotational motion of a rigid body around a fixed axis is a special case of rotational motion.
• During rotational motion there is also a possibility of axis changing its orientation.

• The rigid body is a body with a perfectly defined and unchanging shape that is no matter how the body moves, the distance between any two particles within the body remains constant.
• A body is said to be in a rotatory motion or a circular motion if it moves about an axis without changing the radius of its motion.
• it can also be defined as the motion of a body, in which all of its particles move in a circular motion with a common angular velocity, about a fixed point.
