It should land at the base of the mast. the cannonball, whilst in your hand, is travelling at the same rate as the boat in the horizontal plane ie at 2m/s. as it leaves you hand it should retain that velocity and therefore land right underneath where it was dropped. this assumes all other things are equal, eg there is no air resistance etc that might cause the ball to accelerate or decelerate.

If the moon is a full moon tonight what will be the moon one week later waxing or waning
tatiyna

-- Starting from nothing (New Moon), the moon's shape grows ('waxes')
for half of the cycle, until it's full, and then it shrinks ('wanes') for the next
half of the cycle.

-- The moon's complete cycle of phases runs 29.53 days . . . roughly
four weeks.

-- So, beginning from New Moon, it spends about two weeks waxing until
it's full, and then another two weeks waning until it's all gone again.
 
-- After a Full Moon, the moon is waning for the next two weeks.  So it's
definitely <em>waning</em> at <em><u>one week</u></em> after Full.
