Can someone explain the point of derivatives? Maybe I'm looking too deep into it, as I already have a general gist of differential calculus.

I know if for ex. you've got a time vs position graph, if you take the derivative you can find out the change in position for some change in time at some time t. But what does that mean? Does it mean at t=15s, if the derivative is 4, that if one second were to pass, the position would change 4 meters?
