* Movement: You push the broom forward, propelling it across the floor and displacing dust and debris.

* Direction: The force applied is primarily in the direction of the broom's movement, pushing it forward.

* Mechanism: The bristles of the broom engage with the floor and dirt, pushing the dirt in front of the broom.

While there might be slight twisting or pulling motions involved in maneuvering the broom, the dominant force is the forward pushing motion.
