Horsepower is a calculation of work(torque) done over a certain amount of time. If your referring to say, on a bike. The slower kid would need to use a higher gear (more effort required) than the faster kid in a lower gear to equal the same amount of work in the same time. Example would be both pedaling 100yds in the same time, but the faster kid pedaling twice as fast, but half as hard.
