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...)
