What is the angular altitude of the north star?

The angular altitude of the North Star, or Polaris, corresponds to your latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, if you are at a latitude of 40 degrees north, Polaris will be approximately 40 degrees above the northern horizon. Conversely, at the equator, Polaris would be at the horizon (0 degrees altitude), and it is not visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Thus, the angular altitude varies directly with your geographic location.

As an observer on a ship at sea at which latitude does the north star appear closest to the horizon?

I'm assuming that you mean "How far from the NCP is something whose declination is 50 degrees N?" In that case, the best way to visualize it is by looking at a globe of earth. The north pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. Something that's 50 degrees N latitude is therefore 40 degrees BELOW the north pole (the UK fits this description). Likewise, something with a declination of 50 degrees N is 40 degrees away from the NCP.

In the northern hemisphere the altitude of the north star is always roughly equal to the?

In the northern hemisphere, the altitude of the North Star, or Polaris, is approximately equal to the observer's latitude. This means that if you are at a latitude of 40 degrees north, Polaris will be about 40 degrees above the northern horizon. This relationship makes Polaris a useful navigational tool for determining one's latitude.
