Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Based on the rumor, how tall is the building from the "moat" to the roof? Ignore air drag or any rotation of pumpkins. Hint: You may assume final position to be zero.
