There is a clock with just the hour hand at the 3pm. Remember the hands of a clock rotate clockwise. Suppose the clock is resting on a table, the radius of the clock is 4 inches, and the hour hand is 3 inches. If there is an insect on the end of the hour hand, how far off the table would the insect be at the following times? 12:00 AM, 4:00 PM, 9:00 AM.

Doc Brown (from Back To The Future) has jumped back in time again to 1955 to witness Marty McFly trying to time jump out of 1955 in his DeLorean. Doc knows that Marty has to get the car up to 88 miles per hour in order for the time travel to work. Doc is at the top of a 60 foot building. At one point, he notices the car makes a 10 degree angle to where he is located. Five seconds later, he noticed the angle is now 45 degrees. Is Marty driving fast enough to make the jump back to 1985? Show all work
