Unlike Electromagnetic waves, Mechanical waves need a to
transfer energy

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

r = ρ x length / area  

ρ = r x area / length  

ρ is in ohm-meters  

in basic units, it is m³kg/s³a²  

i think this is it.
