Some do and some don't. It all depends on if it was designed to come back.

The original purpose of boomerangs was to simply injure prey and stop them in their tracks. Returning boomerangs were largely used for herding animals into traps, or killing birds, and they had to be thrown with the correct technique - they did not just automatically return. Other boomerangs were used as tools for clearing ground, a shovel in cooking, digging holes, and even carving up a cooked animal.

Returning boomerangs were used for games and also for killing small birds. Non-returning boomerangs were used for hunting as they could render prey unconscious, thereby enabling an easy kill. They were used as tools also, such as for digging, scraping, clearing land and a fire-poker. They were even used for carving cooked meat. There was a third category of boomerangs, those used purely for ceremonial purposes.


What do boomerangs do?

A boomerang comes back to you because its wings are shaped and angled to emulate a plane's wing. Because the two wings are facing in different directions they create a pulling force that makes the curve shape of its flight patternThe shape of the boomerang causses differences in the air pressure above and below it, and as it spins, this air pressure difference causses the flight of the boomerang to make a slow turn, which eventually brings it back to where it started (the flight can be adjusted by winds however, causing the flight path to distort and it will come back slightly off from where it started.Because the air that hits one side hits the other side in the opposite direction, that makes the boomerang turn around and come back to the direction it is pointing when turning around.

Is The reason a penny thrown straight up inside a bus will come back to your hand is because you the bus the air inside the bus and the penny are all moving at the same velocity?

No, the reason a penny thrown straight up inside a bus will come back to your hand is due to the principle of inertia. When the bus moves forward, everything inside it, including the air and the penny, moves forward at the same velocity due to inertia. Thus, when the penny is thrown up, it still retains some of that forward momentum, allowing it to return to the hand as the bus moves forward.
