A car makes a trip due north for three-fourths of the time and due south one-fourth of the time. The average northward velocity has a magnitude of 47 m/s, and the average southward velocity has a magnitude of 31 m/s. Taking northward to be the positive direction, what is the average velocity, in m/s, for the trip?
