A 60Hz synchronous motor spins at synchronous speed - if it's a two pole motor it will spin at exactly 1800 rpms. An asynchronous motor will spin at a speed lower than the power supply frequency - a symilar asynchronous motor may spin at 1700 rpms.
An induction motor rotating at higher than synchronous speed would be generating power, thus would be a generator. No motor operating as a motor runs above synchronous speed.
When an induction motor is pushed over synchronous speed it will become a generator and will deliver power back to the utility.
An induction motor connected to an existing ac supply normally runs at less than the synchronous speed by an amount described as the 'slip' which is proportional to the torque demanded at the shaft. If the same motor is instead coupled to an engine and driven at a speed higher than the synchronous speed, with negative slip, power then travels back into the ac supply and the motor has become a generator. The amount of power produced depends on the speed. However a normal induction motor will not behave as a stand-alone ac generator. For ac power generation synchronous generators are invariably used because it is necessary to set and maintain the frequency of the supply accurately.
A synchronous motor aways runs at the synchronous speed, which is the supply frequency divided by the number of pairs of poles in the motor. For a 4-pole motor the speed is 1500 rpm (50 Hz supply) or 1800 rpm (60 Hz supply). The mechanical phase of the rotor is liable to be a little unstable under changing load conditions.
Synchronous speed is determined by the number of poles on the motor and the frequency of the power supply. Mathematically, synchronous speed (in RPM) can be calculated as 120 times the frequency of the power supply divided by the number of poles.
A 60Hz synchronous motor spins at synchronous speed - if it's a two pole motor it will spin at exactly 1800 rpms. An asynchronous motor will spin at a speed lower than the power supply frequency - a symilar asynchronous motor may spin at 1700 rpms.
Number of poles and supply freqency determines speed of synchronous motor. For speed control of such motors Variable Freqency Drives(VFD) are used.
An induction motor rotating at higher than synchronous speed would be generating power, thus would be a generator. No motor operating as a motor runs above synchronous speed.
Synchronous motors are much more efficient at converting electric power into motion. However, the speed of the motor is controlled by the frequency of the electric supply. So a synchronous motor ceiling fan would be much more efficient, but the speed of the fan would not be controllable, unless frequency controlled power supplies (inverter power) are used.

synchronous motor is a constant speed motor because it will only run at a synchronous speed or not at all.the speed can be changed by changiing the frequency only ns=120f/p
A synchronous motor aways runs at the synchronous speed, which is the supply frequency divided by the number of pairs of poles in the motor. For a 4-pole motor the speed is 1500 rpm (50 Hz supply) or 1800 rpm (60 Hz supply). The mechanical phase of the rotor is liable to be a little unstable under changing load conditions.
An induction motor has no excitation, so the question is about a synchronous motor. The rotor speed is determined by the supply frequency. For a given supply frequency and mechanical load, the excitation current can be adjusted to give the best power factor.
A synchronous motor runs at synchronous speed, so there is no slip, or zero slip.
Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant speed.
