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 43 m/s, and the average southward velocity has a magnitude of 32 m/s. Taking northward to be the positive direction, what is the average velocity for the trip?
