Does differentiating a distance with respect to time give velocity?
I'm just wondering if you have a distance function:
$$
s(t) = 0.1t^2 - 5t
$$
where $s(t)$ is distance and $t$ is time in seconds, does differentiating it give you a function for velocity?

Is there any other mathematical tool to measure velocity, instead useing derivative? [closed]
To measure velocity we use derivative
$$v=\frac {dr}{dt}.$$
Is the any other mathematical tool to do this?.
