Want this question answered?
The broom can stand by itself, because the center of gravity is directly above the edge on which it balances. And the bristles are soft enough to spread out a bit at the contact point with the floor and provide a stable base to support the handle and allow the broom to balance.
The falling motion of the broom is the acceleration of the broom The broom hitting the floor and slowing down is the deceleration of the broom. Remember, acceleration is the speeding up and deceleration is the slowing down (De is the Latin root meaning down, so down in speed/ decreasing in speed...)
Levi Dickenson is the first one who invent the broom. :)
hhh "I sweft the hall with the broom." "Witches fly on brooms!"
No, it can cause a cold though depending on how long one were to stand or sit in the rain.
correction: own?
My broom does not stand upright without support. I would say the question itself needs improving. Mine stood up with little encouragement and has been standing on its own for hours. Called my in-laws and they stood up their broom as well. Both of our brooms are exact opposites, mine is plastic and slanted and theirs is wooden and straight. So...why do they stand up...and so easily at that? Some say it has to do with soft bristles and the amt of gravity, but wouldn't that be different for each type of broom and why, again, was it so easy to stand on a night around the Equinox and not at any other time?
Balance
A broom is no more likely to stand on end in Australia than it is to stand on end in any other part of the world. There is nothing unusual about Australia that enables brooms to stand on end.
The broom stand trick is the same as the raw egg balancing trick which happens during the spring equinox. It is the date the day which the sun and moon are aligned for equal lenghts of time.

There are no special cosmic circumstances making it possible to balance ... can be angled or straight—with relatively stiff bristles, and stand it up so that ... stable base that should allow the broom to continue standing by itself.

Nothing. You can do this pretty easily at anytime with a flat broom. Interestingly, supposedly the same thing happens with eggs.
