我希望我的文档是一份很长（多页）的定义列表。我想以表格格式进行。这是我目前所拥有的：

\large{Name} & \large{\textbf{Definition}}\\ \hline
Newton's first law & An object will remain at rest or keep
travelling at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an external
force.\\ \hline
Newton's second law & The net force acting on an object is equal
to the rate of change of it's momentum. The net force and change in momentum
are in the same direction.\\ \hline
Newton's third law & When two bodies interact, the forces they
exert on each other are equal and opposite.\\ \hline
Linear momentum & The product of an object's mass and velocity
($p=mv$). Momentum is a vector quantity.\\ \hline
Net force on a body & Is said to be equal to the rate of change
of the momentum of the body (Impulse).\\ \hline
Impulse of a force & The product of the force ($F$) and the time ($\Delta t$)
for which it acts ($impulse = F \Delta t$).\newline \newline This is the
area under a force time graph.\newline \newline Impulse = change in momentum
($impulse = \Delta p$)\\ \hline
Principle of conservation of momentum & In a closed system, when bodies
interact, the total momentum in any specified direction remains constant.\\
\hline
Perfectly elastic collision & A collision is perfectly elastic
when kinetic energy is conserved. Momentum and total energy are always
conserved.\\ \hline
Inelastic collision & A collision is inelastic when the kinetic
energy is not conserved, and some is transferred to other forms such as
heat. Momentum and total energy are always conserved.\\ \hline
Radian & $\pi$ radians = $180^\circ$\\ \hline
Gravitational field strength & The gravitational force
experienced by an object per unit mass ($g = \frac{F}{m}$).\\ \hline
Newton's law of gravitation & Any two point masses attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the square of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their seperation\\ \hline

这是输出：
我有两个问题：
- 我希望表格跨越多页。这似乎没有发生
- 注意，当左侧的单元格跨多行时，右列单元格的顶部填充会发生变化。如何消除这种情况？
我怀疑我做错了所有事情，并且愿意接受关于如何实现我想要的布局或只是解决这两个问题的新建议。
非常感谢！

我认为另一个答案给出了您最初想要表达的意思。
然而，对于你的任务，我倾向于使用一个简单的itemize环境，并使用enumitem以帮助格式化。
我用过
\begin{itemize}[font=\bfseries,align=parleft,labelwidth=3cm]
在下面的 MWE 中，但你可以使用
\setlist[itemize]{font=\bfseries,align=parleft,labelwidth=3cm}
在你的序言中，然后简单地
\begin{itemize}
在您的文档中 - 选择权在您手中。
