Why are liquids easilier to be compressed in hydraulic brakes than gases?

You've got it all wrong, liquids can't be compressed - only pressurized. Gases OTOH can be compressed. It's like the difference between poking at something with a stiff rod, or with a sponge. With a liquid, whatever force you put in at one end is what you get out at the other - just what you want if you're planning to build a closely controlled system like brakes.

How do liquids in hydraulic brakes help stop an automobile?
Liquids in hydraulic brakes help to stop an automobile by creating pressure and moving a set of pistons to generate force. This force is applied outward and causes friction that stops the automobile.
Hydraulic systemssuch as the brakes on an automobilework because liquids tend tomaintain a constant?
Volume!
Why are liquids used in brakes instead of gases?
Because liquids can't be compressed. Whatever movement you put in at one end you get back at the other. Gasses can be compressed, like a spring, which is kinda awkward if you want to build something that can be closely controlled.
Which oil are used in hydraulic brakes?
hydraulic oil
Are bicycle brakes considered as hydraulic action?
depends on the type. There are hydraulic bike brakes, but most are mechanical.
Are disic brakes the same as hydrolic brakes?
No. Hydraulic brakes can be either drum or disc brakes, and these two brake types are available as air brakes and air-over-hydraulic systems, as well.
Was it 1938 or 1939 that Ford first used hydraulic brakes?
It was 1939 that Ford started to use hydraulic brakes.
Is a bicycle an hydraulic machine?
Depends. Most bikes don't have any hydraulic components, but some have hydraulic brakes. Usually disc brakes, but there are at least two models of hydraulic rim brakes as well. And it could easily be argued that suspension bikes with oil shocks are hydraulic in design.
What are hydraulic breaks?
Brakes that are actuated by a hydraulic fluid (such as brake fluid). Other types are air over hydraulic (air actuates hydraulics) and pneumatic (air) brakes.
What do air brakes use to make the brakes work?
Compressed air.
How do you adjust brake imbalanced?
We would need to know what type of brakes you have... S-cam air brakes, air disc brakes, air piston brakes, air wedge brakes, hydraulic drum brakes, hydraulic disc brakes... they're all different.
Do air brakes use brake fluid?
No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.
