A man standing on frictionless ice throws a boomerang, which returns to him. Choose the correct statement:
a) Since the momentum of the man-boomerang system is conserved, the man will come to rest holding the boomerang at the same location from which he threw it.
b) It is impossible for the man to throw a boomerang in this situation.
c) It is possible for the man to throw a boomerang, but because he is standing on frictionless ice when he throws it, the boomerang cannot return.
d) The total momentum of the man-boomerang system is not conserved, so the man will be sliding backward holding the boomerang-after he catches it.
