Question

What are the types of motion in a ceiling fan and its blade? Is it the same?

Solution

No, the overall movement of a fan is different from the fan blades alone.
Ceiling fans as a whole "rotate" on its axis, so we can say they are doing rotational motion, whereas fan blades move in a circle with a fixed radius from the centre; thus, they are doing circular motion.
