Answer:

air is compress able

since air can be compressed, then the hydraulics will not work as well. It won't be able to push the object or brake the wheels. Since water cannot be compressed, it is able to push something, that's how hydraulics work.

Step-by-step explanation:

it reduces pressure and essentially makes the process less effective.
