I re-read the textbook and Matt explained the field problem to me, so I'm pretty sure I understand that now.
The possibility of it being a rounding error crossed my mind for a brief second while I was lying in bed last night, but dismissed it because I figured I wouldn't have been told the acceleration/initial velocity were right.
Thanks a ton [MENTION=1102]Kalovale[/MENTION];! I know from now on that a problem that requires this much accuracy needs more precision when it uses calculated variables.
