	The problem is in the way the first argument is defined.
If you enter in Mathematica

In[1]:=?test

	You will get

Global`test

test[_*Subscript[v, 0], \[Gamma]_, H_, m_] :=
    (((-m)*H)/\[Gamma]^2)*Cosh[ArcSinh[Subscript[v, 0]*
         (\[Gamma]/H)]] - (m/\[Gamma])*ArcSinh[Subscript[v, 0]*
        (\[Gamma]/H)]*Subscript[v, 0]

 -- the first argument is the blank pattern multiplied by
Subscript[v, 0].
	So if we modify the definition as

Clear[test];
test[v0_, \[Gamma]_, H_, m_] :=
   (((-m)*H)/\[Gamma]^2)*Cosh[ArcSinh[v0*(\[Gamma]/H)]] -
    (m/\[Gamma])*ArcSinh[v0*(\[Gamma]/H)]*v0;


 for test[14, 500, 100, 80] we get

\!\(\(-\(\(52\ \@29\)\/125\)\) - \(56\ ArcSinh[70]\)\/25\)

	Best,
	Anton
