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.

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than
Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h =  c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.
