Regarding the axis bit: The typical axis of rotation is the (imaginary)
line perpendicular to the plane of rotational motion that intersects the
center of gravity of the rotating object, so we only need to actually
specify the axis when it /isn't/, such as, say, the opening of a door
(where the axis is on one end of the object), or elliptical orbits (where
there is more than one axis).
