Write the relation between speed and the magnitude of velocity.

$A$ body travelling along a straight line path travels the first half of the distance with a velocity of $7 \,m/s$. During the travel time of the second half of the distance, the first half of the time is travelled with a velocity of $14 \,m/s$ and the second half of the time is travelled with a velocity of $21 \,m/s$. Then the average velocity of the body during the entire journey is: (in $\,m/s$)
