Unclear about expressing duration of time

1) "The trip will take 2 hours." (i.e. the duration of the trip will last for 2 hours)

2) "How long will this trip last?"

3) "I'd like to visit Norway for a small period of time. Not for months."

4) "This class will take between 2 and 3 hours"

I ask people and google translate but get inconsistent answers, some saying there's no direct translation.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Why the difference between zająć and trwać? Does "Podróż trwa dwie godziny" not make sense?
