Because the gas can not deliver power. Pressure of the gases are compressed. Liquids do not compress well and transmit power.

Why are gases less useful than liquids in hydraulic brakes?

It's because 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.If you have gas, it'll be like having a big soft sponge between you and whatever it is that you are pushing on. First push will only squish up the sponge w/o anything happening to the object. Only when you've compressed the sponge will the object begin to move. And then when you stop pushing, the springiness in the sponge will keep pushing a bit. This is gases and pneumatics, not what you want in a closely controlled system like brakes.Gases compress. Liquids, in a hydraulic brake system, don't compress. A liquid-filled hydraulic brake system will produce more force on the wheel cylinder than one with a gas-liquid mixture.


Is the boyle's law applicable to liquids?

Boyle's law applies to ideal gases, not liquids. In liquids, pressure and volume are not directly proportional as they are in gases. Liquids are generally considered to be incompressible, so changes in pressure do not significantly affect their volume.


What does convection only occur in?

Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.


Which are the worse conductors of heat liquids or gases?

Gases are generally worse conductors of heat compared to liquids. This is because gases have more space between their particles, leading to less interaction and slower heat transfer. Liquids have particles that are closer together, allowing heat to be transferred more efficiently.


Does conduction only occur between solids?

No, conduction can occur in solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, conduction happens through direct contact between particles. In liquids and gases, it occurs through the transfer of heat energy by the movement of particles.

Why do you deal electronics only with solids not with liquids and gases?

because liquids and gasses don't conduct electricity

Is solid classified as fluid?

No, fluids refer to liquids and gases only.


What are facts about liquids solids and gases?

Five facts: 1. When liquids cool down, they become solids. 2. When gases cool down, they become liquids. 3. When solids heat up, they become liquids. 4. When liquids heat up, they become gases. 5. Some liquids will only freeze in temperatures that can never be recreated by humans.


Why can only solids vibrate but liquid and gases can't?

Liquids and gases can vibrate. In fact sound is the vibration of air molecules.

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.


Why are sound wave unpolarized?

Sound waves - at least in liquids and gases - can only be longitudinal.
