Answer:
125.83672 seconds
Explanation:
P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)
m = Mass of professor = 103 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = Height of professor = 93 m
Work done would be equal to the potential energy
Power is given by
The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

Answer:
The final temperature of both objects is 400 K
Explanation:
The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;
Q = cΔT
where;
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;
Q(A) = caΔT
where;
ca is the specific heat capacity of object A
The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;
Q(B) = cbΔT
where;
cb is the specific heat capacity of object B
The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A
Q(A) = -Q(B)
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
The final temperature of the two objects is given by
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.
