  • $\begingroup$ $v$ as a function of $x$ (for a point particle) is not a particularly intuitive function, physically, although it may exists mathematically. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @SolubleFish is right. To explain the physical intuition, it may help if you give more context. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I guess the part that is unintuitive is the $\frac{{\rm d}v}{{\rm d}x}$ because $a$ and $v$ are pretty self explanatory. Is my assessment correct? $\endgroup$
