Hydraulic , the jack uses fluid under pressure to raise the cylinder , releasing the pressure allows the cylinder to retract. Pneumatics is a similar concept using air pressure.
Yes there is. Pneumatic valve springs. They are metal bellows that have air in them. Their use is in replacing metal wire springs in a high-speed combustion engine. An example would be formula one engines.
a jackhammer uses a pneumatic system.the jackhammer is a direct combination of a hammer and a chisel
Difficult question to answer without context. Key thing to understand is a pneumatic system uses a compressor, whereas a hydraulic system uses a pump. Hydraulic fluid is essentially incompressible, whereas compressed air will fill any volume. Ask yourself: What is my pneumatic/hydraulic system supposed to do? How fast should it react and what horsepower is available to drive my compressor/pump? What force do I need at my actuator/motor or whatever the system is expected to power? Generally, I think pneumatic systems can react more quickly but power density is lower, so if the load is very high a hydraulic system might be better. A typical shop pneumatic system might only operate at 50psi, whereas a hydraulic system can operate at 3000psi. Finally, it's also worth thinking about system safety: if a pneumatic component fails, there will be an explosive decompression, but if a hydraulic component fails, it will leak but will not explode because hydraulic fluid does not store energy, it only transmits it.
It depends on the dam. Some dams are hydraulic and some are pneumatic. Short answer: Both
Elements of both but the molten rock pyroclastic flows (Mauna Kea , Hawaii) are hydraulic, the Mt. St Helens eruption was to a large extent pneumatic as the water turned to steam.
both pneumatic & hydraulic systems are applications of fluid powers
Transmission fluid is performed by the hydraulic system. Pneumatic power transmission system is done by the gas.
It may be hydraulic or pneumatic system
Yes there is. Pneumatic valve springs. They are metal bellows that have air in them. Their use is in replacing metal wire springs in a high-speed combustion engine. An example would be formula one engines.
Used in trucks and buses. This type of braking system of pneumatic and hydraulic hybrid vehicles.
Yes. Though the response time of a pneumatic system is better as compared to hydraulic, power output is higher in latter.
Mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic are the main ones.
Gases can be compressed. Liquids can't.

its hydraulic.
Pneumatic = Air! There are brake systems that use a combination of both pneumatic and hydraulic components. In those combination braking systems you would use the hydraulic brake fluid that the manufacture specifies.
