Golf Rules - Bunker shots

Question
I would like to find out about penalties when hitting a ball out of a bunker.
1) If the ball is lying in the bunker, and my club brushes against the sand on the back swing, is there a penalty?
2) In a second scenario, if during the forward swing, my club scrap against the sand and then continues on to hit the ball, is there a penalty?
3) In a 3rd scenario, on the downward swing, after hitting the sand, which in turn pushes the ball out, the club somehow hits the ball in the up swing, is there a penalty?
Thanks.
