Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
 
IRstuff, I wouldn't object to homework questions if:

1. There was a separate forum for them.
2. We had strong rules to prevent us from giving them too much help.
 
The braking distance equation does not account for whether a not a vehicle is 4wd or 2wd.

If both vehicles are travelling at the same speed, assuming same deceleration rate, coefficient of friction, and road grade, braking distance is equal.
