Document Summary

Here is an example of a proper table for your physics labs: Table 1 - a cart moving at constant velocity. Each table must be numbered chronologically and have a relevant title. First line: a description and/or a symbol of the presented quantity should appear in the header. Second line: units should be indicated in the column header and never in the body of the table. When comparing experimental and accepted values it can be convenient to have a multiplier to represent values that are different by several orders of magnitudes in order to keep certain units. If this is the case, this factor should be indicated in the column header beside the units as shown in the second column. If the uncertainty is constant throughout the column it should be indicated in column header as in the first column. If the absolute uncertainty varies, it should be written beside the measurements as shown in the second column.
