You have used the ideas of Galilean relativity--that time and distance are absolute and independent quantities and that velocities therefore add. In particular, the formula for relative velocity addition is vbw=vbc+vcw, where vbw is the velocity of the ball relative to the water, vbc is the velocity of the ball relative to the carrier, and vcw is the velocity of the carrier relative to the water. These ideas are embodied in Isaac Newton's Principia.

Newton started this seminal work by stating which of the following?

Space is uniform and infinite in extent but time is relative.
Space is relative but time is everywhere uniform and the same.
Space is uniform and infinite in extent and time is everywhere uniform and the same.
Space and time are both relative.
