How is analog computers are more powerful then digital computers?

Answer:
High speed Analog computers built with the same technologies can reach a solution faster than digital computers. However that solution has a larger error component because of component tolerance and drift.

Some hybrid computers were built and operated simply to use this analog speed to get initial result values for the digital computer to improve by approximation algorithms to get the required accuracy. This significantly reduced total solution time with no loss of accuracy over the pure digital route.
