Plot always appears as a straight line

v = [0:100];
m = 4.65*10.^-26;
y = ((m*v)/(4.14*10.^-21)).*exp((-m*v.^2)/2*4.14*10.^-21);
plot(v,y)

Hi, I don't know how to fix this but my graph appears to be a straight line intead of an exponential curve. Thanks a lot!

@Hieu. Here's a demonstration of why you should be careful with how you use parentheses:
x = 60/5*12
y = 60/(5*12)
z = 60/5/12
Notice that in 'y' and 'z' there is division by 12, whereas in 'x' it is multiplied. That is apparently the source of your difficulty with the quantity 4.14*10.^-21. It was multiplied rather than divided because you left out the all-important parentheses.

Are you sure the second "4.14*10.^-21" doesn't belong in the denominator:
y = ((m*v)/(4.14*10.^-21)).*exp((-m*v.^2)/(2*4.14*10.^-21));
If so, and if you change the range of v to:
v = [0:1000];
you will get a nicely curved plot.

First, I suspect you missed parenthesis is your exp denominator. The magic of using constants. Second, most functions look like straight lines if you stay near the origin. Try plotting further out in v.
v = 0:1000;
m = 4.65*10.^-26;
denom = (4.14*10.^-21);
y = ((m*v)/denom).*exp((-m*v.^2)/(2*denom));
a = axes(figure);
plot(a,v,y);
