Why do rear brakes brake first?

All four brakes should engage at the same time. You probably need to bleed your front brakes. If road conditions are wet or you haven't driven the car in a while, drum brakes sometimes "grab". Many cars have rear drum brakes and front disc, this could be what you're expieriencing.

When the brakes on my 1996 Ranger get wet they grab and stick Anyone had this problem If so what did you do to fix the problem?

When that happens to me, I "fan" the brakes until they dry. "Fanning" is lightly applying the brakes and releasing several times in succession. The heat caused by the friction will dry out the pads after a few "fannings". You want to do this right after you run over a puddle of water, don't wait till you get to a stop sign or until you have to stop suddenly to find that your brakes are sticking and not working properly.

If while riding a motorcycle on highway 90 at 20 ms a car stops suddenly in front of you. You apply the brakes and come to a stop in 3.5 sec. Assume time zero is the instant you first apply the brakes?
