In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.17 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.57 km with an average velocity of 2.53 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.425 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?

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?
A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v1 = 20.0 m/s for t1 = 3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v2 = 25.0 m/s for t2 = 2.80 min, and then drives northwest at v3 = 30.0 m/s for t3 = 1.00 min.
