Hi people, i was wondering if anyone might be able to see the problem with my graph:

There must be something wrong, since the velocity drops so fast, and i was thinking that they should all start at v0, but this isn't the case.
(The definitions and equation should be in the picture with the graph)
In this picture you will see how i made the equation (maybe there's something i missed):

I don't see why you would think "they should all start at v0" since you have replaced v0 by vr, vh, and vs, three different values.
 
Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
