A bike travels 6.53 x 103 m at 67.9 degrees North of East in a time of 2.56 x 103 seconds. The biker then has a drink for 1.23 x 103 seconds. She then rode a distance 6.05 x 103 m South in a time of 2.93 x 103 m seconds. She paused for 1.88 x 103 seconds, and it takes her back to her starting point. What was the magnitude of the average velocity of their entire ride?
